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.

Oakland

Philly. Protestors kneeled for 9 minutes.

The race of the looters is not relevant to this discussion.

Don't let MSM turn this into a white vs black thing. That's irrelevant. All we have is workers and minorities against the systems of power that fuck them over.

If you're getting so worked up about the media calling the looters white, then you're already falling into their trap.

As I sent a couple days ago. Don't be anyone's fool. Keep your mind clear and looking at the objective here.

Hi everyone,

As these protests grew past MN (and there are a ton happening as we speak), we realize we should move our focus from live reporting from police scanners to general reporting from across the country.

We are still monitoring MN police scanners where possible, we just have moved that to a separate channel here. I'll also include this link in the channel description for future reference.

We know this is a suggestion many of you made to us earlier, and we're happy to adapt to that feedback.

Thanks :)

Seriously, what is it with police and shooting reporters? This is literally the type of shit America puts sanctions on other countries for.

Another view from Philly, seems like they are in some pretty large numbers.

MAJOR UPDATE: In MN, seems like the protest group has "grown exponentially," police estimate around 5,000 people outside the fifth precinct. This looks good.

Cornel West, thank you brother.

Curfew has now been set in Denver, CO until the morning of June 1st. Curfew is from 8 PM - 5 AM. Didn't they learn from MN that it's extremely ineffective? Or are they just looking for a reason to mass arrest 🙄

It covers their asses from lawsuits if they accidentally/purposely kill someone
