Native Minnesotan here — living in Minneapolis — that has lived on both coasts: With all that's happening the last few days, please don't generally associate Minnesotans with the violent riots that have captured the attention of everyone.

> With all that's happening the last few days, please don't associate Minnesotans with the riots that have captured the attention of everyone.

I am convinced that the police in the US is extra violent comparing to other countries but I am not at all convinced they are specifically violent against blacks, if anything I can see why they should be considering this behaviour. I also understand that they must be more strict because of all the guns and weapons going around comparing to other countries.
I haven't seen such riots when police in the US killed white people with no justification so I don't understand the point of all of this, it is just senseless violence, even more senseless than the regular violence among black communities, at least in those cases there is some criminal motives like someone invaded a drug selling territory and get shot for that.
I am not American but my only conclusion from all of this is that we should strive for homogenous society as much as possible, mixing different populations with each other will always cause problems. Diversity is a disaster everywhere and will never work.
Did I "hear" the message correctly? If not maybe they should try a different method.
