A large gathering in the street at 2 a.m. All of them lit up on drugs and booze purchased by taxpayers. Make it a cop no go zone. Send in social workers to provide sensitivity training.

The report is selectively missing some information.
Nevermind, we already know.

So did they settle the dispute? Journalism is so bad now they don't tell the whole story.

#3, my many police officer friends have always said, "Nothing good ever happens on the streets after midnight. "
Count on it.

Nothing to see here. Thought they didn’t need the police. So what is there to work?

Were the guns obtained legally? Were the guns being carried legally? They weren't being used legally.
Make all the gun laws you like. But they won't do any good unless people use fire arms responsibly AND are moral and decent to start with.

Since there's no gratuitous indictment of white people, I'm going to assume that the perps were the usual ferals.

What is the point of news reports like this? We only know that two people were shot and killed and there was a "verbal" confrontation. They were shot in "downtown Minneapolis"...really narrows it down, doesn't it? From the Star Tribune, "The bloodshed came as a loosening of pandemic restrictions and warmer weather drew crowds back...". Pathetic, and it wasn't a main headline either, had to scroll down a ways to find it. No details in that story either. It's about as informative as "Two people were shot and killed somewhere". Thanks.

Two A.M. in the morning when most normal people meet on a street corner to converse with one another. What could go wrong? The statement right before you are shot, "you is disrespking me now here's a nine for you".
