Uhhh, like, normally I get these my phone is blowing up civic alert type things for tornadoes, blizzards, or amber alerts. This is a new one: Officer involved shooting 25 minutes away.
And I’m all out of ice cream. “Stay indoors”. I don’t mean to be getting all QAnon nshit but this is pretty weird. Is it for my own safety Orwellian double speak?
Minneapolis (and suburbs): we love black folk if they’re making records or scoring football touchdown.

Oh God. Just watching the news. Things are exploding in your area. These protestors want the police to stand down, but at the same time many are out looting local stores. I hate to see what happens in Portland, OR tonight.

Just to be clear I “understand” that the trial is going on 10 miles away from where this kid was “supposed” to be tasered. It’s a friggin’ disaster.
I just wonder if it’s really a tenable situation to put 2.5 million people on curfew for every police shooting. I’m not trying to be callous but this can’t become “normal”. Right? I mean, I’m not asking for people to play tiny violins for me because I couldn’t go to the grocery store - but seriously?

If police murdering unarmed black men stopped being "normal," maybe there wouldn't need to be curfews.
Holy ★■◆● their "excuse" though. "Oh, the officer thought her gun was her taser." What the actual ★■◆●.

If last year proved anything, curfews only exacerbate tensions.

I don't know what the excuse was in this case a few years ago.

Seeing all this taking place in Minneapolis breaks my heart. I have a lot of fond memories visiting Minneapolis when we lived in Minnetonka.

And this is what the former President of the United States wanted to have the military do to U.S. citizens who were protesting all over the country. Shades of Kent State on an epic scale. WTF!
