"The Auto Zone's completely engulfed. Not a priority at this time."
(Lake & Clinton)

"Possible shots fired to the east of Lake & First Ave."

It’s over- they have a bulldozer.

"How many bad people are running around over there?"

"Take two of your squads and go up to 31st & Chicago. Block that. Tell your other two squads come North of the Popeyes & block Chicago there."

"Metro Transit Police Sergeant wants to confirm — you want your buses moved to Lake?"

"Lake Street & South 3rd Ave. Right by the McDonald's."

"They're on the way."

"Is Chicago blocked from 31st down to Greenway? Lake blocked to East & West of Chicago?"

"I don't know how far south we are... We've got the eastern perimeter."

"Apparently, somebody that we dealt with — they're trying to get them to HCMC and they're [??] hostile en route."

"Four shots fired from vicinity of 1010 E Lake Street."

"Rioters stole several propane tanks from the Speedway."

We have confirmed reports that Teamsters is breaking a strike by the Transit Union. The Transit Union in Minneapolis refused to drive busses that police were going to use as paddy wagons. Teamsters has allowed their workers to drive busses for the cops instead. Despicable! Workers, you have all the power! Don’t drive those busses!

If anyone has information on the Teamster’s scab officers send it our way. We’re naming and shaming whoever signed off on breaking this strike. -> @BLMProtestsBot

So, it seems like Minnesota is reporting that majority of their arrestees are out of state and that it could be linked with either white supremacy or organized crime.

This will be a hot topic. Leftists blaming white supremacists discrediting the movement, and righties blaming antifa or George Soros (lol) or black organized crime.

Whatever you do, please do not focus on the looting.

Regardless of the origin, it takes away from the real message of these protests to call out the oppressive police and constant injustice onto the black community.

Letting the looters and destructors, who are often white men dressed in black, take away from our true cry for justice is only letting the oppressors win. It will only discredit our movement and our message.

We are seeing almost unprecedented momentum in our message. Many of these protests were organized to be peaceful, but people seem to be taking advantage of our power in numbers.

We cannot let them distract from our message. We have so much on the line. Push our message and push it hard, do not let it fade in the smoke screen of looting and destruction.

There are many protests today across the US and even two in Canada. Please consider showing up and demonstrating to show your support for our message and most importantly, stay safe out there.

Also we’re getting a shitload- and I mean a shitload of information on protests today. Conflicting reports in some areas of which protest is legit and which aren’t. It’s going to be chaos on the ground and we’re doing our best to adapt to rapidly changing conditions. Be advised that some protests are honeypots- always wear a mask and always bring a buddy.
