Last night according to the St Paul mayor and law enforcement ... EVERY single person arrested on the streets was from out of state. #minneapolisRiot #georgefloyd
As much as we are fascinated by #UmbrellaMan or men, this is what we more often discover & unwind. A CHANGE(.)org petition was circulated earlier today by an apparent BLM activist to strongly encourage the Minneapolis DA to up or raise the degree of charges in #GeorgeFloyd murder
We collected over 10,000 of these last night and if you look at them it almost looks like a botnet for hire operation. Lots of Korean boy band profiles, some Russian .. but mostly built up spam accounts. #MinneapolisRiot #GeorgeFloyd @WCCO @GovTimWalz
Heres a video that captures the extent of it. One small unknown group trying 2 capitalize on Minnesota unrest. Its coming from the far-left & the far-right. Different reasons, but all from a warped sense of reality & disregard for true progress #MinneapolisRiot @WCCO @GovTimWalz
More National Guard coming into the metro from the north #protests #minneapolisRiot https://t.co/2WTT0XzRWm
Sorry they are incorrectly calling this US National Guard. Its not, its State. Trying to do 10 things at once. I have confirmed from friends of the convey coming down Hwy 10 into the metro.
This is also important. https://t.co/s7CDqukuR4
First time i have ever gotten one of these #MinneapolisRiot
Evan is a good person to follow for on the ground reporting in the Minneapolis metro. So far so good. https://t.co/xpZvn6XncD
That didn't sound good. Just heard a very large explosion off in the distance.
Locals are confronting the rioters and trying to put out the fires they are starting
Meanwhile Russia continues to capitalize on the situation
More of the weird "Raise the Degree" seems to be coming back again tonight. Again lots of apparently foreign accounts involved.
As far as i can tell, last night was many fold less violent than previous nights. No fatalities and no major building fires. #MinneapolisRiot #GeorgeFloyd
Regardless of whether the cyber attack on state computers & Minneapolis Police department yesterday was “sophisticated” or not there is no denying who came out of the shadows after 3 yrs to claim responsibility. #MinneapolisRiot #GeorgeFloyd @WCCO @GovTimWalz
Okay todays Press Conference is EYE POPPING!! Police recovered vehicles being used that were previously stolen, had no license plates, had windows blacked out. They were filled with rocks and AR-15 rifles! WTF!! Sorry these are NOT #antifa tactics. #GeorgeFloyd @WCCO @GovTimWalz
Big thanks to @ushadrons who has the relevant press conference video here
Remember #UmbrellaMan is 100% NOT #antifa and using Stolen vehicles, stripped of their identification and AR-15s is not either.
Also not normal protesting behavior ... and certainly NOT something #antifa has been reported to do in the past.
