Clear from this video that the police did not ignore the looting of the main Target store (Target started in Minneapolis)

The downtown #Minneapolis @Target store was looted tonight. Police were already nearby investigating a suspected murder and subsequent suicide. The store closed and employees were evacuated as a group once the looters were cleared. #Riots pic.twitter.com/jj9yyIRiK3

In Minneapolis, a man killed himself. Someone spread a false rumor this was a police shooting. Some people opportunistically started rioting/lotting. In order to rebut the rumor, the Minneapolis PD released a Twitter video of his suicide.

This is a bad time.

What's going on in Minneapolis shows how dangerous social media can be. There appears to be clear video of the guy killing himself. It's tragic but it has nothing to do with the police, but rumors that it was a police shooting seem to have spread out of control immediately.

2/ Don't watch this video if you're easily disturbed but do share it with anyone spreading misinformation about what happened. It comes from a Star-Tribune reporter.https://t.co/04eCBCklSS
