Last night, protesters in front of the Brooklyn Center Police Station set fire to a "Thin Blue Line" flag.
"Smells like bacon! Smells like bacon!" they chanted as police watched from across the two layers of fence surrounding the station.

"This is for them shooting us Black people man. This has got to stop, man!"
After setting fire to the Thin Blue Line flag, next up was an American flag.
"Our first every flag burning ceremony!" one participant exclaimed.
Again, cops stayed out of it.

Inside the Brooklyn Center Police Station, a giant thin blue line flag (similar to the one burned outside) hung in the lobby.
Yesterday was Daunte Wright's funeral; this flag wasn't hanging the night before.
Air fresheners hung on the protester side of the fence.

As more stories come out of Brooklyn Center, one critical detail has been buried in the coverage: Kim Potter, the police officer who murdered Daunte Wright, was also involved in helping fellow officers cover up the murder of Kobe-Dimock Heisler in 2019. newsweek.com/daunte-wright-…
Potter was the police union president at the time, and one of the first officers to arrive on the scene. Kobe Dimock-Heisler, who was on the autism spectrum, was shot by police 6 times. Potter counseled the officers so no criminal charges were filed. facebook.com/watch/?v=73528…
Kim Potter is not one bad apple. Police unions use contracts & legislation to avoid accountability and condone state-sanctioned violence. That’s why we’ve studied their tactics, and we’re ready to expose how police unions harm our communities: policeunionplaybook.com
Enough w the apologies by Minnesota's Governor about police "misconduct" toward journalists. We heard this 1 year ago when @OmarJimenez was arrested live. This year a officer throws down our producer who is AAPI & keeps asking "do you speak" english.(1)

What does that tell you about the mentality of the officer who arrested her for doing her job? This isn't a learning curve. It is a choice. Do something about it. Also #StopAsianHate #BrooklynCenter #DaunteWright
Plus police were taking photos of journalists credentials but would not say why. The governor said that would not happen again.
Also noting that Independent journalist have a much harder time fighting these measures. They don’t have the money or the organization to back them.

The #Minneapolis suburb of #BrooklynCenter was established in 1911 on land owned by a county sheriff and Ku Klux Klansman named Earle Brown, who was also a founding member of the Minnesota Highway Patrol.
Brown also served as vice president of the Minnesota Eugenics Society, a virulently racist organization that promoted the sterilization of the “feeble minded.”
Hennepin County, which includes Brooklyn Center, is subject to the curfew, as are Ramsey, Dakota and Anoka counties. The same curfew will apply in the twin cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, their mayors announced.
