Report from Minneapolis

[LAS14]

11. A quieter night on Saturday.

Good news. Very few fires, no looting, some vandalism. The city was totally militarized after curfew began at 8pm. Black Hawk combat helicopters overhead. 20% of arrests were people from MI, Chicago, Kansas City, Iowa and a couple other states. AR-15 assault rifles were confiscated, along with carloads of rocks, pavers, Molotov cocktails and many hand guns. Freeways continue to be shut down. 4100 National Guard troops still on our streets plus many hundreds of cops from around the state. I was awake till 3am watching our street and alley. I have to admit to some racial profiling I am guilty of. When pickup trucks or cars with 3 or 4 white guys drive by I get extra alert and track what they are doing. Driving while white!!!! This is a result of white nationalists coming into MN to sow their hatred and violence. Some international group ( Russia, China, North Korea??? ) attacked all our MN State computers last night trying to disrupt the state even more. Not successful. Another curfew tonight. So now we try to enjoy our cool, sunny day while preparing again for tonight.
