for people who are unaware of why the riots in minneapolis started happening, hereās the facts:
it wasnāt george floydās protesters who started reacting violently; it was the cops.
the protest was peaceful until the cops showed up in riot gear, and started using water cannons, followed up by tear gas and rubber bullets. i got videos from friends who were there, of people screaming and running away from the cops shooting the water cannons, rubber bullets and throwing tear gas at them. they were even shooting at the protesters dragging people away to get medical attention.
speaking of medical attention, dispatch refused to provide any medical attention to the protesters. people literally had to drive their bleeding friends to the hospital because they refused to send ambulances.
cops are using non-lethal weapons in a lethal way. they shot rubber bullets into peopleās heads and injured them. thereās dozens of photos of protesters with bleeding head wounds from the rubber bullets.
multiple people used police scanners and heard that there were undercover cops pretending to be violent protesters who were throwing rocks and whatnot at the police, with dozens of eyewitness accounts confirming that information.
the person who instigated all the chaos last night (it was a fire at an autozone) with the looting and burning buildings is highly suspected to be an undercover cop pretending to be a protester, because the video of him keeps getting taken down. protesters tried to stop him but couldnāt because he had a hammer and they were scared for their safety.
the cops jammed cell phone towers and cut live streams to interrupt broadcasts and to prevent people from seeing what was really going on and who actually started the violence.
the cops lied about protesters being armed and about throwing rocks and are literally trying to continue the violence happening and yet no one is holding them accountable for that.
and during all this, the cop that murdered george floyd still hasnāt been arrested. he has had more than ten complaints filed against him and was involved in three other civilian shootings in the past. and yet heās still out free along with his three other buddies involved, probably sitting on his couch while all this chaos is happening.
so donāt get it twisted. the cops just want to change the narrative to make it look like theyāre the wounded and righteous party, when theyāre the ones who started reacting violently in the first place and are still acting violently. so donāt you ever forget who started this tragedy and murdered someone, and who are continuing to react to the situation with violence.Ā
