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.

Because there's still some white people left, even though the country's dumb, brainwashed whites have been subsidizing their own destruction via welfare, affirmative action, etc. Now, just watch some of the riot videos and see random violent attacks on whites by blacks and mexicans. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Wait until the shooting starts. 100+ million gun owners in this country and many getting fed up.
