Black and Latino shop keepers, already outraged by George Floyd's death, feel victimized again as city officials fail to stop looting and fires

Minneapolis restaurant Gandhi Mahal is damaged in the protests over George Floyd’s death. The owner’s family expresses solidarity with protesters.Some tried to protect their businesses against looting by posting messages of solidarity in their windows, including, “African owned business” and “We support our small diverse and minority businesses.” But those windows were broken overnight, too, leaving security guards sweeping up the shattered glass Friday.

Liban “Lee” Alin surveyed the damage with dismay. Alin, 30, who works at a local homeless shelter, grew up in the area before settling there with his wife. As a child, he prayed and studied the Koran at the makeshift mosque Elmi created at the back of Hamdi’s Restaurant. But as an adult, he had also been racially profiled by white police officers who live in the suburbs.

Minneapolis burnt building's will be gentrified .double the rent

So they’re blaming city officials now and not the actual people committing the crime?

Then talk to your own community. When white people say not to riot all we get is name calling about being racist and that we’re focused on the wrong thing!

Stop voting for do nothing dems and Keith Ellison who has told police to stand down.

There is no justification.

Their own community looted and burned down their businesses. Blame them.

The cops there ran so fast they literally drove through a gate to escape once civilians got inside the precinct. They are cowardly trash who only impose their wills on the helpless. Good luck relying on them there.

This is a little.. even the biz owners say.. let it burn! Justice must be served!!

The city allowed that to happen. All of it.

So the looters and rioters and arsonists who are “protesting” injustices to Blacks don’t have concern for Blacks and Latinos?

Democrats are in charge. If you can even call it that. They voted them in, vote them out. 🤦🏽‍♀️

Minority-owned businesses were left unharmed. Stop with the nonsense LA times.

Democrats don’t care about minorities

As long as it's not the looters and arsonists fault.....
