Oh yes, the glorious New York Times. Well known to not be biased towards police propaganda in the slightest.

Is this sarcasm? The NYT is quite liberal.

Liberals are major police supporters, and the NYT is just that. They have run a ton of pro-police propaganda using police officers as their sources.

"Liberal" can mean both "pro police" and "anti police" at the same time. It really depends on what police behavior you are against.
>At no point were fire and police “afraid” to go places in the city either
The police abandoned the 3rd precinct station which was burned down later that night. How's that for being afraid to be in a place?
There were plenty of stories of fire trucks not going places for security reasons, and eventually firemen had national guard escorts. I don't know what that is besides "being afraid" to go places in the city.
>>“We were faced with these fail fail fail options,” Mr. Frey (Minneapolis mayor) said. “We were literally having to choose between preventing additional looting, protecting a precinct and providing escorts to firefighters to put out fires. There was no way we could do all three.”
>Damage in Minneapolis was mostly confined to a singular street.
A main street which crossed the cities, miles long. And damage wasn't at all confined there. There were several hot spots around the cities.
>I can imagine you may have been watching certain “news” coverage that may have claimed that.
Well, here's the New York Times backing up my claims.
