Looks like its going to be another long night in Uptown. #Minneapolis.

Will add to this thread until I go to sleep.
If you don’t know what’s going on in the Uptown neighborhood of Minneapolis details in this thread.

The City of Minneapolis and protesters have been fighting for control of Lake St,. a high traffic, high crash, arterial road and commercial corridor in the city. City takes away their barricades and they put them back up.

From last night:

Haven’t seen this tactic before.

At yesterday’s press conference on Uptown, City Council President Lisa Bender, who represents Ward 10 which includes parts of Uptown, said that Uptown streets are very unsafe.

There’s no apparent law enforcement presence at Lake & Hennepin.

I wonder how much these cost?

Photos from earlier in the evening.

I need to head to sleep so no more updates for this thread.

1. While reading up on the driver who was just charged with 2nd-degree intentional murder for a crash in Uptown Minneapolis that killed a protester, I’ve been seeing mentions of a truck driver who drove through hundreds of protesters on I-35W on 5/31/20.

2. I remember seeing the footage last year year and wondering what was going through the trucker’s mind. The videos did not look good. But if he was intent on killing protesters, why did he stop suddenly & how did everyone survive?

3. I recently learned from a local that there was more to Bogdan Vechirko’s story than I’d seen in initial reports.

This thread will look at his story and how the media covered it. #ComplicateTheNarrative

1. Wow, has this ever happened elsewhere?

50 officers, detectives and sergeants on the Portland Police Bureau’s Rapid Response Team voted to resign from the team last night. This will remain on the job. This is the team that handles crowd control at protests among other duties.
2. Acting Portland Police Chief Chris Davis speaking about the mass resignations at a Zoom press conference.

Yikes. This is one of the big stories in Minneapolis today.
2. Update:

Police have identified the victim as 36-year-old Adam Richard Johnson. No cause of death yet. Still asking the public for help in finding out what led up to his death.

3. Investigators still haven’t been able to locate all of Adam’s body parts. So far they’ve found pieces of him in 2 locations in Minneapolis.

1. Watching the bandwagon effect in real time when you don't want to jump on the bandwagon is always interesting.

2. We often feel pressure to jump on a bandwagon or at least comment on it.
3. Curious if people feel the pressure to jump on a bandwagon is mostly internal or external? Or both?

1. The problem with indie journalists and social media sleuths rushing to be first to break the names of deceased people and their killers is that invariably someone gets it wrong and circulates the name(s) of people not involved.
2. So far I've seen two men identified as the driver in last night's deadly crash in the Uptown neighborhood of Minneapolis.

mprnews.org/story/2021/06/…
3. One name is wrong (can't even confirm the man exists - anonymous account seems to be source) and the other name seems correct but I'm waiting for official announcement before I share because it really doesn't matter if you learn his name now or 5 hours from now.

1. Mini Minneapolis/St. Paul Update:

There were two small marches against gun violence this weekend in the Twin Cities that are unlikely to get national media attention.
2. On Saturday, people marched in North Minneapolis demanding justice for the 3 black children shot earlier this year. Two have since died. There have been no arrests in these cases despite $10K reward in each case.

3. On Sunday, the one year anniversary of the shooting death of 23-year-old Nia Black, Nia's mom, LaTanya Black, founder of Mother’s Against Community Gun Violence, led a Peace Walk for Change in St. Paul calling for an end to gun violence.
