Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) has activated the state’s National Guard to provide “personnel, equipment, and facilities needed to respond to and recover" in the wake of upheaval over the death of 46-year-old George Floyd in police custody Monday.

Minneapolis-area leaders sought Thursday to reassure the public and begged for calm amid nationwide outrage and local protests that gave way to destructive fires, looting and violent clashes. The unrest came during mounting calls for criminal charges against a white police officer shown in viral video holding his knee on the neck of Floyd, who was black. Floyd said repeatedly, “I cannot breathe," before he was taken from the scene without a pulse.

Here are some significant developments:

The mayor of St. Paul asked people to stay home amid a “rapidly devolving” situation in the capital, as police departments in the Twin Cities area warned of “flash looting” and took precautionary measures.

The region’s main public transportation operator said it was suspending bus and light rail services over safety concerns.

The Justice Department and FBI have pledged to undertake a “robust criminal investigation” into Floyd’s death and said in a joint statement that the inquiry is “a top priority.”

The chief of the National Guard Bureau said guardsmen began on Thursday morning preparations for “civil disturbance activities that we’re running” in Minnesota after Floyd’s death.

Floyd’s family will seek an independent autopsy of his body because it does not trust Minneapolis city officials, an attorney for the family said Thursday on CNN.

Floyd’s death also sparked rallies in other parts of the country Wednesday. In Memphis, a crowd gathered outside a police building and chanted “no justice, no peace.” In Los Angeles, protesters blocked a freeway and confronted a California Highway Patrol vehicle.

U.S. police chiefs, many of whom have been pushing their officers to de-escalate tense situations and decrease their use of force, responded with disgust to Floyd’s death and praised Minneapolis’s chief for firing the officers involved.

There has been much ado over the movie, Noah.

As I often do with most big pictures, for which I have waited with some interest and anticipation, I ignored most of what I had been hearing from the critics who had offered up their punditry based on early screenings to test markets, and went in to the theatre with an open mind.

But before I get to the meat of my take on the film, itself, let me say a few things that need to be understood about big movies, such as Noah, that, due to subject matter, create hype and controversy. What I understood about this movie, going in (without actually knowing a single thing about it other than what I had seen in the trailers) was the obvious: it was a major motion picture, created by the motion picture industry, who have at the core of anything they fund, a need to see revenue and profit. That is just a given. No matter how amazing the visuals might be, no matter the heart, passion or bias thrown into the writing and creation of a film, no matter who may love or hate it in the long run, the bottom line for the studio that finances the thing, is the need to turn a profit. And that is not an innately evil thing, in the very least. The entertainment industry exists and proliferates based on what people will continue to pay to consume, just as any other company, corporation or sole proprietorship that exists. Very little can happen without the potential to generate revenue and turn profit.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A black man has died in Minneapolis police custody after video shared online from a bystander showed a white officer kneeling on his neck during his arrest as he pleaded that he couldn’t breathe.

His death Monday night after a struggle with officers was under investigation by the FBI and state agents. It drew comparisons to the case of Eric Garner, an unarmed black New York man who died in 2014 after he was placed in a chokehold by police and pleaded for his life saying he couldn’t breathe.

On Tuesday morning, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey apologized to the black community in a post on his Facebook page.

“Being Black in America should not be a death sentence. For five minutes, we watched a white officer press his knee into a Black man’s neck. Five minutes. When you hear someone calling for help, you’re supposed to help. This officer failed in the most basic, human sense,” Frey posted.

Minneapolis police said the man matched the description of a suspect in a forgery case and resisted arrest. The video shows an unidentified officer kneeling on his neck and ignoring his pleas. “Please, please, please I can’t breathe. Please, man,” the man is heard telling the officer.

After several minutes, one of the officers is heard telling the man to “relax.” “Man, I can’t breathe,” the man responds. Several more minutes pass and the man becomes motionless under the officer’s restraint.

Several witnesses had gathered on a sidewalk near where the man was lying, with some recording on their phones. Bystanders became increasing agitated as the man pleads with police, with one bystander telling officers that they need to let him breathe.

Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria Arradondo, speaking to reporters Tuesday morning, was asked about the use of the knee on the man’s neck during the arrest.

“We clearly have policies in place regarding placing someone under control,” Arradondo said, stating that taking a look at what happened and how those policies apply “will be part of the full investigation we’ll do internally.”

Nekima Levy-Armstrong, a prominent local activist, said watching the footage that was shared on social media made her “sick to her stomach” and said it reminded her of the Garner case, she told the Star Tribune. A grand jury later decided against indicting the officers involved in Garner’s death, sparking protests around the country.

"I'll Take My Coffee Black and My Tea in the Harbor"

In light of all the historically counter-contextual hype surrounding the Minneapolis riots and how those who attempt to justify the actions of criminals are hailing back to the Boston Tea Party as a model for their anarchy and destruction, I thought it would be a good thing to review the original Boston Tea Party to see if there are any valid comparisons to be made. Put on your thinking caps and back it up with your steel undies.

"We Don't Know That We Don't Deserve Anything"

We don't deserve anything. Not a job, a family, happiness, a house. It's a frightening thing to admit, but once we've embraced it and realized the truth behind it, we will be far more willing to share of ourselves and work to achieve excellence.

"What Americans Don't Know They Don't Know"

When we adopt a systems perspective of how humans develop and solve societal issues, we naturally become part of powerful and positive grassroots change. We learn to model behavior that helps raise and educate children with core abilities to navigate 21st century lives, and to become critical thinkers and informed citizens of our Constitutionally Limited Republic.
