Minneapolis riots spill over to St Paul, 3rd Precinct burns

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Minneapolis has entered the fourth day of unrest in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death, with rioters taking over the police department’s 3rd Precinct building late Thursday night.

The breach occurred at about 10 p.m., with rioters setting fires inside the building and outside near the main entrance.

I've got friends that run a reptile and pet shop in St Paul. When I 'talked' via IM to Sara last night about 8 PM she said the riots were only 6 blocks from them and headed their way. Their shop is in a concrete building and all but one of their windows are block glass and Bruce was boarding everything up.
I haven't heard from them this morning yet.

7:05: Aaaand I just heard from them - she said they had a late night there but were untouched. She said the rioters pretty much stayed where they were. Hopefully this shit will calm down today.
