He said the cops are getting aggressive now, more than in the past few nights. Ali is getting nailed again.
He is in Minneapolis reporting.

(3,598 posts)(I believe that's his name) it got really intense. Looked like some Mid-East skirmish there for a minute with the explosions and yelling.

(32,606 posts)Also, just before he got hit again he was showing all the clouds of gas on the streets.
If he got hit with a rubber bullet that is a whole other matter. It is not clear if that happened but if it did I assume that was a deliberate attack on the press.
