Minneapolis is very different tonight

[sarisataka]

Police are moving in swiftly on the marches and protests. They dropped on two separate groups simultaneously.

1. MSNBC is reporting that the violence tonight

is coming from those in uniform.

2. It is in response to the pleas of the Minneapolis residents

Throughout the day community leaders have begged people to obey the curfew. People out past curfew are going to be assumed to be agitators or at the least providing cover for those who only want to destroy.

There are reports of neighborhood watches that are arming themselves. I was watching a stream of a march where the locals came out with baseball bats and tasers telling the march to go elsewhere, it was not wanted.

The people are afraid that after dark where the protest goes, arson and looting follows.

4. Not MSNBC, just Joshua.

I don't care for him. He is a know-it-all ass. jftr - I have thought that since they first put him on air weeks back.

3. They have been told the first rock is the trigger

There is finally enough manpower.
Been getting ready all day. There will be no slack tonight. Shops in the area that are still standing have been informed there will be presences near by. It has also been suggested that they remove the minority owned indications from their buildings as that may make them a target.
