It’s a lose-lose situation in Minneapolis.
Most people thought if Derek Chauvin was found guilty on all charges then the rioting and chaos would stop in Minneapolis.
Well, it looks like that narrative is completely false.
Just shortly after Derek Chauvin was found guilty, BLM protestors surrounded and harassed a truck driver in Minneapolis, Minnesota
They even disconnected his air brakes take a look:

You would think Derek Chauvin was acquitted of all his charges, the way this mob is acting.
CBS News shared some more details about the verdict:
Protesters in Minneapolis cheered Tuesday after a jury convicted former police officer Derek Chauvin of all three counts in the death of George Floyd, whose killing last year re-ignited a nationwide movement calling for police reform and racial justice. An attorney for Floyd’s family called the verdict “painfully earned justice.”
The jury, which consisted of six White people, four Black people and two multiracial people, convicted Chauvin of unintentional second-degree murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter. Attorney Ben Crump, who is representing Floyd’s family, applauded the decision.
Across the country, cities braced for protests ahead of the verdict. National Guard troops have been deployed to major cities, including Minneapolis, Los Angeles, Chicago, and more.

Of course some liberal users on Twitter automatically believe it’s the truckers fault:

Other users stood with the trucker and said that it reminded them of the 1992 LA Riots when Reginald Denny was beaten almost to the point of death:
