cop cars getting lit up in slc

 

Police scanner is saying that the National Guard is being called in to the Seattle protest. Fuck.

 

I don’t know who this guy is so please don’t get mad if he’s a nut job, I’ve seen people get mad about sharing the wrong person in here.

but this is actually insane. Are you guys about to descend into civil war?

 

Never mind just passed a bunch in full riot gear

 

ehh...we’ve had worse since our last civil war.

not saying it’s impossible but, back in the late 1800s and early 1900s we had protests where bombs went off and cops got killed haha. These look rough but honestly aren’t any more violent than some of our other rough times

 

not for nothing but I think the big thing with white nationalists possibly being involved is they may be coordinating with the cops

 

Nearly all major highways shut down tonight around here

 

Alleged?????

 

Protestors have taken I-5 in Seattle

 

That’s a first.

 

Philly is getting crazy. Burn it all down.

 

love to see it

 

It’s amazing how quickly I've seen people accept the "apparently most if not all of the people arrested in Mpls are outside agitators" line. Like it's people who in the same breath will say you should donate to bail funds or legal defenses. If that's the case then why the fuck would you do that, then?

 

Sorry if this has been mentioned but are you all not worried that this is going to likely cause a massive resurgence in people dying with coronavirus?

I fully understand other things are at play here but it would still concern me and I wouldn’t be surprised if this double the death tally in the US

 

Destroying Hudson WI would involve having to go into Wisconsin. No self respecting Minnesotan would do that to themselves

 

Yes it worries me. Not nearly as much as all the opening of bars, restaurants, and work offices though to be honest. Covid containment has already been botched here.

 

Cop car on fire here now

 

Like I’m sure there in fact are “outside” agitators + INSIDE agitators lol. But it’s so obvious that the main priority of Frey and Walz and the police is to stop this from happening. It’s not the safety of the community or any individual. If they can make it socially acceptable to just come in and arrest or beat the fuck out everyone then they’ve won. That’s very obviously what they are attempting with this shit.

 

Wow. A couple white MAGA guys pulled a gun on protestors in Manchester, NH. Luckily didn't shoot anyone.
