A crowd is gathered again outside the Brooklyn Center police dept building. Dispersal orders have been given. Flash bangs deployed.
Arrests are beginning.
National Guard on site.
A source on site tells us one of the apartment residents is fighting with several protesters. He wants them to leave.
From @MinnesotaOSN

**Dispersal orders are being issued before curfew begins because members of the crowd are trying to take down fencing, spraying mace at officers, shooting fireworks at officers, and throwing bottles and bricks.**
Relief and/or reinforcements coming in.
Still a stand-off. Every time law enforcement gives a dispersal order, numerous horns can be heard honking to drown out the order. 23:33
Bonfire being started.
Law enforcement rushed the group starting the fire.
Aaaaand the result.

This is how #MNmedia misleads you on crime statistics. Although the Geriatric Neighbor was doing a report on juvenile auto theft and how the current system isn't working to deter it, they quoted Hennepin County auto thefts this year at 475.

But they didn't tell you that DOESN'T include Minneapolis, which is sitting at 4300 auto thefts so far this year. It's a stunning number. Why won't they tell you?Image

2/
In fact, looking at this closer, the number @UbahDAli and @WCCO listed in the screenshot above is NOT the number of auto thefts, but is the number only being PROSECUTED so far this year. So, COMPLETELY WRONG INFORMATION.

WCCO needs to do a retraction. Image
3/
So some editor/producer at lying @WCCO is so out of touch & lazy that they actually thought 475 auto thefts sounded like an accurate number, when there's been nothing but talk (here on Crime Watch, at least) about out of control auto thefts.

Lazy, weak, pathetic "journalism"
