Sink Or Swim

March 1st, 2026: Hennepin county sheriffs chased, trapped, and arrested protestors at the Whipple building.

Police kettling a small group. They did not have the safety of the crowds you saw all over a month ago. Police warned protestors to drop their shields and acted like shields and signs were weapons.

The second part of that video shows police forcing protestors back into the building parking lot. They shoved into the crowd, grabbed shields, and sprayed people. The video's end shows the beginning of arrests.

Violent arrests broke out in force, and State Patrol aided Hennepin police. This video shows an officer chasing down the person recording from a distance, shouting, "Hey, backpack! You're under arrest!"

More arrests. An officer dropped their gun magazine on the ground.

Video that shows snipers aiming at a larger group of protestors from a distance. The videographer, someone in a press vest, discusses local law enforcement aiding ICE.

The peaceful protests before police intervention. More protestors making music.

We scroll,We smiles,We laugh online,

But hide our storms between each line.

Perfect pictures,filtered light,

While fighting shadows every night.

We carry pressure ,dreams so high,

Afraid to fail,afraid to cry.

But strength is not in silent pain-

It’s speaking up,again,again.

So let us talk,let walls come down,

No shame in tears ,no hidden frown.

For minds need care just like the heart-

2) trust needs proof => consistency over time not paranoia (no surveillance or tests)
