The Breitbart News reported Tuesday that armed civilians were photographed standing guard outside a business to stop looters as riots raged in the streets of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota.
The riot occurred after Wright, a 20-year-old black man, was fatally shot by a Brooklyn Center police officer during a traffic stop. On Monday, Brooklyn Center Police Chief Tim Gannon said the officer may have shot Wright by mistake.
On Tuesday, Julio Rosas of Townhall, a conservative U.S. political website, posted photos of rioters throwing projectiles at police officers. Rosas explained that while police were focused on protecting the police building from a group of rioters, other rioters were looting various stores at random.
He posted video of the looters, followed by a photo showing a store with armed civilians standing guard where no looting was taking place.
Similar business defenses were seen during the riots that erupted over Floyd’s death. on May 30, 2020, Breitbart News reported that a number of Minneapolis store owners armed with AR-15s, AK-47s, handguns, and other firearms banded together to protect their property.
