Border Patrol flies anti-terrorism drone over Minneapolis protestors
Thousands of people took to the streets of Minneapolis on Friday to protest the death of George Floyd, a local black man who died after a white police officer knelt on his neck during an arrest. All the while, a Customs and Border Patrol drone kept a careful eye on the unfolding unrest.
The drone, using the tracking signal CBP104, took off from Grand Forks Airforce Base at 9:08 am Central Daylight Time and shortly afterward headed directly to Minneapolis, this feed from live flight tracking service FlightAware showed. The drone then circled the city six times from about 10:45 until noon. The aircraft maintained an altitude of about 20,000 feet.
Grand Forks AFB is the home of the Air Force's 319th Reconnaissance Wing. It is also a site Customs and Border Patrol personnel use for takeoff and landing of the Predator B unmanned aircraft system. CBP uses the drone in anti-terrorism operations by helping to identify and intercept potential terrorists and illegal cross-border activity.

Oh those evil racists who don't want to sheepishly become Dhimmi! Brainwashed whites need to wake up. Quit taking your own race and it's culture for granted. Quit engaging in cultural relativism. Keep up your suicidal stupidity and you will have no safe home left. You will be bred out and conquered by Muslims and Africans. As your blood disappears, so will your culture and everything about modern life you take for granted. If you think cultures and races are the same, then why don't you get out ahead of it and move to Africa or the Middle East? It's cheaper. You could live like a king!
