The no-cop zone in Minneapolis is the scene of George Floyd’s death. The hard-left — Antifa and Black Lives Matter — have made it into an anti-police shrine. Mr. Floyd died after ingesting a deadly amount of drugs including Fentanyl while ill with COVID and other ailments. He appeared to go limp as a police officer restrained him with a knee, minutes after he was no longer resisting.
The reason police were there is a store employee called them after Mr. Floyd passed a counterfeit $20 bill and appeared to have something wrong with him. They store clerk thought he might be drunk and he got into a car. Mr. Floyd resisted arrest for a prolonged period of time.
The hard-left wants to keep the area as a no-police zone until their 24 demands are met:
The only store still open is Cup Foods. It was their clerk who called the police on Mr. Floyd. They say their clerk did nothing wrong and was just doing his job. It is what he should have done.
The store must stay open but they face threats and other problems. Their store is vandalized with graffiti.
This is ridiculous. The no-cop zone needs to be shut down immediately.
THE VIDEOS OF THE SCENE
Cup Foods is the only business inside the “no-cop” zone that’s open, according to the son of the man who founded the business (besides a laundromat).
This is the store that called the police on George Floyd. The outside of the building is now covered with art, signs, etc. pic.twitter.com/CQErg3sAqS

The man I spoke with briefly inside Cup Foods said they’ve faced threats and problems, but must remain open. He also said that the store did nothing wrong — the clerk who called the police was just doing his job, according to him. pic.twitter.com/u66BW5ieY2

Shelby is The Daily Caller reporter who was forcibly detained by police. We don’t have context since we don’t know why the police did it:

Why “must” Cup Foods stay open? If it was my business I would cut my losses, close up and leave Minneapolis. I’m betting they already lost their insurance coverage and any value their real estate has now and the only thing left to lose is their lives. What reason is there to stay? Make sure the residents in the neighborhood have a food store to walk to? Sorry for the innocents but that should be a hard lesson for them to learn; Never, ever vote for a Democrat. Because it was Democrats that turned their once beautiful city into this burned out shell of a city.
It is absolutely nothing racist to point out the fact that Mr.George Floyd was a plain criminal caught in his act of committing a typical crime，though admittedly it’s also a fact that the police officer who accidentally or purposefully caused his death was doing the very wrong and illegal thing.
In any society with the rule of law ，no one has the right to decide others’ lives until the law permits it，and the police definitely doesn’t have the legal right to kill any human before the trial and other legal procedures ，unless the police have no choice but to do so in self defence .
But with all that being said，what is the logic behind consecrating such a figure as the murdered criminal Mr. George Floyd as if he was a martyred hero? Are these people trying to encourage crime as if it’s some sort of virtue?
