Video here from a Minneapolis activist. She claims a lot of aggression on the activist side of the protests was carried out by a group of six white dudes. This is consistent with police scanner reports of a group of young white men shooting fireworks. m.tiktok.com/v/683151557527…
This is particularly interesting to me because hundreds of Boogaloo types on Facebook and more Nazi sorts on Telegram have repeatedly discussed their desire to goad the police into shooting live rounds. @LCRWnews documented a great deal of this.
There' evidence (in the claims of one Boogaloo Boi and video from an activist) that Minneapolis activists disarmed one Boogalooer who was acting rowdy. This is something activists are going to need to keep an eye on for the foreseeable future.
OK, I've uploaded the audio of Minneapolis protesters yesterday who claim to have taken a handgun from a "white nationalist" agitator. The protester speaking states his belief that a number of these folks are on the ground.

Video has been stripped because the person who sent me this livestream had concerns about the faces of activists being visible. Journalists looking to cover this, I have the video.
