Strictly News continues it’s coverage on George Floyd’s killing by ex-officer Derek Chauvin and the following protests and riots today.
As events unfold across the country in the wake of George Floyd’s presumed murder by police officer Derek Chauvin, it’s hard to keep track of all the stories coming out. We’ve summed up the major stories from last night for you here.
- A 31-year-old male was arrested in LA for impersonating a national guard soldier yesterday. The photo here shows the high end tactical gear that the man was equipped with. He was discovered due to carrying and AR-15 rather than the standard issue M4 or M16.

- A 20-year-old male shot an officer in the head from behind following peaceful protests in Las Vegas, after much of the crowd had dispersed. The officer, who was shot two days ago, is still in critical condition. See who both the officer and the shooter are here.
Let’s keep Officer Shay Mikalonis in our prayers. His condition remains unchanged after being shot last night. He is still in “grave” condition on life support. 🙏🏾 pic.twitter.com/3ErtqITrlU

- A man was shot following a protest in Las Vegas near the courthouse. The man appeared to be wearing body armor and reached for his weapon. He was pronounced dead on the way to the hospital.
- A man in Utah was arrested on his way to a protest due to several threats made against police and an indication he may be a terrorist threat. When apprehended, police found several firearms including an AK-47 and an Uzi with many rounds of ammunition in his vehicle. Both him and the driver were arrested.
- In Northern California, looters stole upwards of 70 luxury cars including Jeep Wranglers and Dodge Challenger Hellcats. While the owner blocked the exits, the looters simply rammed them until they got out. Approximately 25 of the cars have been recovered. Many have been severely damaged, and several have been chopped for parts, being returned without engines.
- Saks Fifth Avenue in New York City wrapped their store in razor wire after the Macy’s looting last night. They also hired security, which brought along some mean looking dogs to help protect the store. See pictures of the security and their dogs here.

Gratefully,

I think it is disgusting that business owners in our country have to protect themselves when they be protected by the local police!
that should read Should be protected by the local police!!
Interesting that after all the overblown heated rhetoric from Democrats the wannabe guardsman was outed because he carried their favorite “weapon of war” a scary black AR-15. It stood out next to the real guardsmen with the real weapons of war.
Sorry to say, I’ve got most of that same gear (although most is in the older ACU Digital pattern), but it’s staged in my GTFOOT crates. Only an idiot would strap said gear on and then go wander around town. That’s asking for a confrontation.
The cops in all jurisdictions need to get off their asses and do the job they hired out for; any interference by mayors/governors needs to stop!
This ALL is totally disturbing, the vandalism, the numerous attacks on innocent people many who have died. And to shoot a police officer in the back of the head, is beyond words. I pray for him and his family. Other officers attacked and killed, one being Black. Two officer’s being fired in Atlanta for using excessive force, which at this point was probably necessary. This started out as a protest for an innocent Black man being murdered then turned into NOTHING to do with a Black man being killed, it turned into destruction with George Floyd being an excuse to… Read more »
Terry, as horrible as the situation was with George Floyd, it does not seem he was an innocent man. This may even have been a set up to start these preplanned riots. I suggest his family share the $10M GoFundMe with the officers and civilians who have been killed during the riots as well as assisting the business owners who have been ripped off by these thugs.
I ill put this officer on my prayer list and hope he will survive this and will be healthy again. I also hope at the same time that the guy who did this will be punished to the full extent of the law.
Shoot them . Shoot go kill . see how fast this crap stops . All this crap is only for free stuff they can steal . The death of that black man means nothing to them . Send in the army and shoot to kill
The perpetrators are no better than the officers charged which started these days of turmoil. Praying for Officer Mikalonis and those who love him. So deeply saddened.
The person of interest who is shown as the suspect in the attempted murder of Officer Mikalonis appears to be a gang member…perhaps one of the illegals that stormed our borders.
SENSELESS VIOLENCE, and THEFT/LOOTING, None of this is about Mr. Floyd, or “Black Lives Matter”. A Retired Black Police Captain was MURDERED, YES, And HE was an AMERICAN, of African Heritage/Descent ! Another SENSELESS.MURDER, Like Mr. George Floyd. I thought “BLACK LIVES MATTERED” What was HE but a “Black” Man and An American, w/Family & Friends,who NOW have to GRIEVE like The Floyd Family. A SENSELESS LOSS of a Productive Life,😢😢😢😢
Children lose a Father, Grandkids lose a GRANDPA ! A Wife is NOW a Widow, and for WHAT ??? WHAT was ACCOMPLISHED, NOTHING ! ! !
looks like a democrat hit man to me.
This lawlessness can NOT be tolerated. The suspected accuser of shooting Officer 👮♀️ Shay Mikalonis committed attempted murder and should be charged as such. Notice the markings on his face which tells me he’s probably a member of a gang. Violence CAN NOT be tolerated. Violence will only produce more violence. All this crime of looting, arson, shootings are being done by LAWLESS CRIMINALS who DON’T CARE for human life, and certainly don’t care for George Floyd , who these PEACEFUL protests are for. I worked with criminals for 20 years. Some could be reformed to live in society as… Read more »
WHAT A GREAT IDEA WRAPPING THE STORE IN RAZOR, MORE BUSINESS SHOULD DO THAT. CITIES SHOULD WRAP THE CITY IN RAZOR WIRE. PUT UP RAZOR WIRE FENCE BETWEEN THE PEOPLE AND THE POLICE. INSTEAD OF RUBBER BULLETS. SHOOT NAILS AT THESE GOOD FOR NOTHINGS.
