I've been browsing Reddit, specifically a subreddit dedicated to Minneapolis.
People are actually making excuses for the looting and rioting.
''With what happened in nearby Wisconsin, it is understandable that people are on edge''
They even blamed the police for arriving in riot gear to confront a mob that had just been rioting. Police came out to physically show the protest leaders the video but they also came with the support of anti-riot police, so the mob then blamed the police for escalating when things got out of hand again.
