The cop raised his weapon shouting, “Forty millimeter up! Curfew! YOU WILL BE FIRED UPON.” A .40 is the standard caliber bullet used by the Los Angeles police; it was specially designed for human kill. gregpalast.com/lapd-you-will-… #FloydGeorge #FloydGeorgeProtests #BlackLivesMatter

By Friday night, some 95 people were arrested in Minnesota for street violence. To put things into perspective, more than 16,000 were arrested in the course of the L.A. Riots in 1992. #Minneapolis #FloydProtests see: washingtonpost.com/archive/politi… @TPPF /1
