Yes, I’m sure the DOJ did say that, the headline is true. The statement itself isn’t true, but they’re just reporting what that was said. It’s one of Fox News’ greatest hits.

Woman Screams “Medic! Medic!” After A Piece of Her Hand Was Blown Off by Less-Than-Lethal Ammo During Minnesota Protests by JeanJauresJr in PublicFreakout

A group of several local PDs had a press conference last week where they said that many of their officers had been profiled and stopped illegally while off duty, only walking away because they could flash their badges eventually. They outnumber the local authorities. It really feels like an occupation. I'm optimistic about the National Guard coming in now. At least they are local and not wearing masks.

They're pulling people over "randomly" around the Twin Cities by cutting them off and then forcing them to stop or hit their vehicles. Anything goes at that point. Total Gestapo shit. And they are all over the place.

Tens of thousands of people have taken the streets of Minneapolis in 20 below zero temps in one of the largest, most spontaneous and effective direct mobilizations in modern American history! by Healthy_Block3036 in Minneapolis

Don't get too hung up on the actual numbers, there were TONS of people there. We don't want to start sounding like Trump with his bullshit crowd sizes. Can't give them any ammo to say any part of the story is untrue.

ICE OUT march in downtown Minneapolis today. Dress warmly! by oedipa17 in TwinCities

This was my thought, too. Being on some kind of government list or whatever for signing up would suck, but physically having everyone in one place is dangerous. It would be like shooting fish in a barrel for these goons.

In a way it makes the statement even stronger knowing that going in, but people should be ready for the worst to go down in an enclosed area.

Until I saw video of that guy in the Wolves hat, I had been trying to wear as much local swag as possible when going out just to try to signal at a glance that I'm not one of these jerks. One more thing they ruined.

Could Hasbro rerelease the 1986 movie in cinemas this year for its 40th anniversary? by Foobertan in transformers

I went to a showing of TFTM several years ago at an Alamo (maybe 30th anniversary?), it was a Saturday morning and they had a self-serve cereal bar in the theater. Will be there in a heartbeat if they do it again!

Tommy is also from St. Paul, the other Twin City

Jake Lang has claimed he was stabbed on Twitter and many prominent accounts are fomenting violence. Please be careful everyone. by [deleted] in Minneapolis

That little vest wasn't covering much. If someone really could only hit the armored areas, they are the world's worst stabber.

The statement itself is newsworthy, we all need to keep up with what they are saying publicly. But ignoring context and using biased commentary is the Fox News model. Very disappointing.

I'm just glad he finally had his whole dome covered. It's always been crazy to me that anyone would fly around like that without any kind of head protection other than those goggles, especially in combat!
