How is that fair to other Minnesotans who don't live in the Twin Cities area?

This wasn't a natural disaster. City officials in Minneapolis and St. Paul specifically instructed police to stand down, and let the rioting occur.
You don't really think their intent was to cause damage to their own city do you? Come back to reality Druff.
So what was their intent?

People were rioting, looting, and burning down buildings.

They told police to stand down. What was their expectation? That the buildings would stand up and defend themselves?

These city officials chose chaos and destruction over enforcing the law. Now it's time for them to deal with the consequences. They don't get to send the bill to Minnesota or Uncle Sam.
