People are preparing for mass violence in Grand Rapids, Mich. over the police-involved shooting death of #PatrickLyoya, a black man who tried to escape on foot, resisted arrest & then grabbed the officer's taser. #BLM
Violent protesters have gathered outside @GrandRapidsPD. The police station is fenced off & businesses boarded up. Leftist extremists urging revenge over police-involved death of #PatrickLyoya, a black man who tried to take a cop’s taser & was shot dead.
"No more peace"
An antifa account is calling for revenge and violence in reaction to the police-involved shooting death of #PatrickLyoya, a black man who wrestled with a @GrandRapidsPD cop & tried to take his taser.
The far-left uses Twitter to organize violence & to fundraise in anticipation of criminality & arrests. This account is helping to fundraise for Michigan Solidarity Bail Fund. The fund calls the deadly 2020 riots the "George Floyd Rebellion" on its site.
A fence separated angry protesters and police officers at the @GrandRapidsPD. Earlier, some of them had thrown projectiles though the behavior quickly ceased. Online, many continue to urge violence and revenge. #PatrickLyoya

Breaking: Frank James, the black nationalist suspect in the #Brooklyn subway mass shooting, is in police custody.
Separately, video posted on social media purports to show the moment he was arrested.
Another angle showing the arrest of the #Brooklyn subway mass shooter, Frank James. h/t @BaruchBrog.
Breaking: Photographs of the #Brooklyn subway mass shooter, Frank James, shows him just out and about in Manhattan before he was arrested at 138 1st Ave.
Breaking: NYPD named Frank James as a person of interest in the #Brooklyn mass shooting. I looked into his social media. Like the Waukesha suspect & the Louisville BLM activist who allegedly tried to assassinate a mayoral candidate, he appeared to be a fan of black nationalism.
"I think I will kill you last"
Frank James, the #Brooklyn mass shooting "person of interest," made disturbing posts recently suggesting he was going to kill people.
Rennes, France: In reaction to the first round of the French presidential election, in which Marine Le Pen came a close second to Emmanuel Macron (leading to a run off election), black bloc rioters believed to be #Antifa began carrying out attacks.
The rioters in Rennes, France started a large fire to oppose the results of the first round of the presidential elections. Marine Le Pen came in second place, only a few points behind Emmanuel Macron. There will be a run off election between the two.
Far-left rioters in Rennes, France created a mass blockade in the street before carrying out attacks to voice opposition to the results of the first round of the presidential election.
Yes, this tweet is real. I had motor skill difficulties after suffering a traumatic brain injury from the antifa assault in 2019 where they punched me repeatedly on the head & face. Do you think it’s funny when gay people of color suffer injuries from white extremists?
Joseph Bernstein of Buzzfeed was witness to the antifa beating in ‘19 & went w/me in the ambulance to the hospital. Far-left started a disinfo campaign to say I faked injuries. I turned over my hospital diagnosis to Buzzfeed & they confirmed I was truthful.buzzfeednews.com/article/joseph…
The Antifa members who beat me in ‘19 weren’t prosecuted so I filed a lawsuit after identifying some of the assailants. The suit was amended after I was jumped again last year to name two of the ringleaders. Please support my @Liberty_Ctr legal fund:libertycenter.org/cases/justice-…
Thor Benson, a white freelance writer, thought he found me & instead harassed a random Asian in New Orleans & made him leave a bar. Benson's followers said the man should've been assaulted. @TracyConnor@CorinneIOZO you okay w/your contributor doing this?
.@aaja, Thor Benson, a freelance contributor to @thedailybeast, @PopSci & others tried to racially profile me in public & instead ended up harassing a random Asian victim. Benson announced this proudly & his followers urged violence against the man. cc: @TracyConnor@CorinneIOZO
A senior editor of @Slate, Jordan Weissmann, was among those who liked Thor Benson's racist tweet announcing he had harassed a random Asian victim in New Orleans thinking it was me. @danathan, are these the values of your publication? #StopAsianHate
