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.
There hadn't been a curfew Wednesday night in Brooklyn Center (first time in a week) but it was reinstated last night, presumably because of Daunte Wright's funeral.
"Fuck your curfew!" protesters chanted as they marched around the neighborhood.
"If Daunte don't get it, shut it down!" protesters chanted and honked their cars at the police from the other side of two layers of fence during the curfew.
"Fuck 12! Fuck 12! Stay out of our business!"
Inside, state cops in camo held rifles but never came outside.
Here is my full @N2Sreports video of the demonstration last night in #BrooklynCenter following the #Dauntewrightfuneral.
