Black Lives Matter rioting and looting continued for a second night on Monday in Minnesota.

“Peaceful protesters” just broke the window at Dollar Tree located at 6800 N. Humboldt Ave., just down the street from the Brooklyn Center Police station. They are currently looting the store. @MN_CRIME pic.twitter.com/yInu40wVTY

Chemical fog began pouring into #BrooklynCenter Dollar Tree about 20 minutes ago. Everyone began gagging, choking & running out of the store. Whatever it was, it was nasty. 🤢 pic.twitter.com/ePfGyLpanQ

Because officers were occupied with guarding the Brooklyn Center police building, stores nearby, like this Dollar Tree, was ransacked by looters. pic.twitter.com/dMPZ463O6Y

Police and the National Guard appeared to have a heavy presence.

Some people still driving around - a few stragglers standing around but national gaurd and police have mostly cleared the area near the station and off Humboldt Ave. #BrooklynCenter pic.twitter.com/rBzbUWVY9X

The riots were triggered after a bumbling female police officer accidentally shot a resisting suspect with her pistol instead of her taser.
