So there is a lot of reports trying to say the Auto Zone fire was the police.

Let me give you my opinion on this. It literally doesn't matter who did this. It could be the police, it could be a protester, it could be a Nazi.

At the end of the day, different forces are going to blame different groups to discredit the riots or "credit" them. What I believe is that who burned the Auto Zone does not matter. The protesters aren't some sort of hive mind who are planning to do things together. Whoever burnt it does not give or remove credit from this movement. This is a natural incident that happens during riots and protests.

Don't let anyone make you into a fool to push a narrative. Support black lives matter, support abolishing murderous police forces. That's all that matters. Specific incidents won't be remembered in history, the movement will.

"Need exact language of what they're doing and WHAT THEY'RE SAYING for use of force"

Officer is saying that when you go over air, please use specific language about what the crowd members are both doing And SAYING so they can justify use of force

Ah so they basically want it "on the record" that they aren't doing anything wrong if they start killing people

Yes, justifying use of force because of the words of the people

From a comrade:

"Hi, this is about the CS canisters for the BLM protests. Best thing to do is use heat-resistant gloves to chuck them in a large plastic jug about 1/3 full with a mix of water and sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), 5-6 tablespoons per quart or liter. Cover the jug until the canister stops smoking - you can make teams dedicated to this. The mix is also good for fighting CS gas effects if sprayed on the face, squirt bottles are ideal. This is what we do in Chile. Good luck!"

Police are Staging at South St Paul Municipal Center, not sure what for.

Other radio chatter from Dakota County reports people with bats fleeing in cars.

I am personally not qualified to represent this movement in any form shape or matter. However, if there is anyone on the ground who would like to reach out to this person go for it!

Hello Amir, I'm from a grassroot Italian radio, and we wanted to interview one from BLM to bring soldarity and describe what's happening to Italian social movements. Would it be possible to talk?
