Chief joins demonstrators in Norfolk as rally takes place outside police operations center
We did have protestors shut down the HRBT last night. Outside of that everything has been peaceful.

I barely made it out of Seattle. Full on curfew of 5 pm enacted. I-5 (main superhighway) closed in both directions.
Talked to a couple friends in Philly, and they are equally as undramatic as I am bout these sorts of things- they’re actually prepared for some nearly unfashionable outcomes.

Oh, no. No no no no. That's no bueno. Getting close to time to spit on your hands and hoist the black flag.
I won't start anything, but I'll sure as hell end it.

So, since the Nashville Mayor incited a riot against his own city, can he be put in jail now?
Chicago:
You know, I'm good with that. Nike as a company has been a part of the problem, especially with that bullshit ad yesterday.

My AO is quit but our police force is on alert
Chicago raised the bridges in the loop. They are barricading streets with buses as well to divert the crowds. Streets and Sanitation trucks doing the same on other main streets. Squad car was set on fire already. They are throwing fireworks at fire trucks as well.
ROE for CPD is no force allowed due to “extensive media pressure” as of right now.

Yeah, I was going to call bullshit on that as well. But, more importantly, who cares? They're here and they're staying somewhere.
For my WTF moment of the day, I present you with this gem:
We all saw the reports of the 3rd Precinct being overrun the other night. Well, maybe Minneapolis PD does need an overhaul/retraining program because they left ammo and equipment behind, which then looters promptly seized. Seriously. What. The. Actual. Fuck?!
They used a rolling blockade of police vehicles here to move people back. It's still ongoing. I was hoping for some nice fresh, cool air tonight; I had to close all my windows from the gas.
And, if you look above, I was praising the protesters earlier today.
One thing I will note...sitting safely in the bar we got locked into, we kept witnessing the same 3 individuals come with a group, and said three would hurl rocks from a backpack. They would then run back and reappear with the next group and repeat.
They were the only three we saw tossing rocks directly at cops.
We saw plenty others looting, but these three seemed to lead the group toward the police, and retreat first every single time. We saw it repeat 3 times at least (there were a few surges we retreated from the windows).
Fuck those attacking the cops, but glad to see others jumped in to stop the shit.
So you're good with it when it's a company you dont like? Seems like pretty flimsy reasoning then, but ok.
Apparently that was the bodyguard for the camera crew. Dude felt the situation was unsafe and made it safe like a BAMF

You may have missed this stupid ad that they posted yesterday that literally is inciting riots.
So, yeah I find it funny in a very dark comedic sort of way. But Nike has jumped on many of these events and perpetuated the divide to sell shoes and show they are "woke".
He wasn't even here last night, he was out of town.
That was the Justice Center/police station last night after the fire was out.
Those are the steps they are 3 deep on on a regular day. They are also where we towed a car from (plate covered with newspaper) when they tried to ram the doors. We later towed 2 stolen vehicles used to ram stores downtown. So glad it's my weekend...
So, I drove past here roughly a hour ago after I passed by the first time.
That road the protesters are across?
The police blocked it off two intersections up from the road the protesters were facing to set up a detour, before the protestors were in the road.
So someone explain to me how gassing a peaceful protest, on a road the cops already closed off, way a good idea?
ETA: He didn't even finish his order to disperse.
Where are all the Constitutionalists now? Because right to assembly is a pretty fucking big one, but all I ever hear them talk about is guns
