National Guard are staging west of the Hiawatha Avenue overpass right now. On 22nd Ave S and East Lake. This confirms reports that they were driving north on Cedar earlier.

ppl chilling at the corner, backs to the Autozone Ruin. Fire chief did a fly by to assess shit & give the police the clear to move in from the north to rapidly establish a cordon around the building at the remnants of the riot.

cops set up a blockade under Hiawatha Ave overpass, making this poor streamer walk half a mile more AROUND the overpass and he came across a long line of National Guard humvees and supply trucks on the Overpass. #minneapolisriots
Cops are moving up toward the dozen livestreamers & loiterers still fucking around at 6 in the morning (local time), here's the epicentre update.
Black: buildings razed by fire (May 27th)
Bright green: buildings razed by fire (May 28th)

The sun's up but i finally finished the May 27th St. Paul uprising map that was largely daytime carnage
According to St Paul police, 170 businesses were either damaged or ransacked last night, so what I marked is what I know for sure.

Big point: alot of corner stores thoughout the twin cities even outside the main activity areas have experienced some looting or vandalism. Even violent altercations with business owners or locals over it. And then a mall 25 miles north of Minneapolis was looted.
Just getting started and getting a sense of lay of the land for the 5th precinct area. Current situation around the Shell gas station
Mobile phone store across from Oreilly auto parts on fire, possibly the restaurant next door #minneapolisriots
more protesters tonite masked up

So, while it's mostly calm around 5th precinct now, the bulk of the riot is further down East Lake where police and national guard are now pushing them east. SWAT in the original Nicollet area are mopping up the stragglers caught behind the main police line out

A look at firebug alley on Chicago Ave. Taking tally of what's been razed by fire by the time cops rolled up to the overpass on the lower part of the photo.
Last fire was the book store by the overpass. Guy came by half an hour earlier to make sure it was safe. #MinneapolisRiot

Comprehensive area map for Night 4 aka "rump state" of the East Lake street riot that began on Nicollet Ave on the other side of 35W to the west.

#MinneapolisRiot
At sunset a march occurred, which means many people who would go on to start the Lump State riot probably stopped halfway. Once the police started ending the Nicollet Uprising/Riot by 5th Precinct, ppl there fell back to the Lump state, which is how that went up #MinneapolisRiot

MPD release a map showing 383 property damage and burglary calls. Aligns pretty decently with the heat map
Getting an idea of the layout of the DC Protests. Protesters have consistently occupied Lafayette square beside the white house for days now. Much of the protesters are currently marching up 14th streeet nw
First of all, here's a riot strat shorthand from the Police end of things I produced. The second picture illustrates the layout of Capital Hill, Seattle with a guess how police would drive back protesters.
It was later confirmed as exactly what happened

For the past few days, this image illustrates the manner of how the (mostly) peaceful protests went down. The #seattleprotest slowly started adopting Hong Kong Tactics (see: umbrella usage goes from some to full coverage of the Front Line) to some effect.
Last night, after days of fortification, police cleared out of the East Precinct & left the doors unlocked. Days of regime infiltrator action and deception by police had the uprising feeling it was bait to get them to torch it.
So instead, the #seattleprotest occupied the block

Large march just arrived to the political center/citadel which has also been transformed into an education space now. They are currently playing The 13th, a documentary about the history of racial inequality, violence and the prison system. #seattleprotest #SeattleAutonomousZone
Updated maps for the #seattleprotests to show #CHAZ expansion & a more detailed assessment of the Burgeoning #capitolhillautonomouszone as well as nearby regime counter-insurgency outposts. Bonus DLC: the march that saw hundreds raid the Regime City Hall. #SeattleAutonomousZone
Things I've learned from observation & my (lovely) sources: districts forming, for starters. Today, the Chazites were concerned w/ territorial expansion. The impromptu speech area last night is now a civic center that handles volunteers and organizes film screenings, speeches
Open advice for the #SeattleAutonomousZone #capitolhillautonomouszone
police strat when they get fed up would likely be to blitz from the east since there is only 1 barricade and 1 block between Regime Loyalist territory and the civic center of CHAZ.
Solution: The Cuff Buffer

So far, it seems barricades have been reinforced & Cal Anderson park now has a garden. The park is beginning to densify with new supplies, food, and other stations under canopy structures. The park batting cage was reportedly repaired by someone. #SeattleAutonomousZone #CHAZ
