Two squads headed to Lexington & University, headed through a residential area

The wind is pushing the tear gas back into the police, very effective

The cops are downwind of the gas!

US Bank at 28th and Lake on fire

MPD still can't get their callsigns right

Protests are happening in downtown Minneapolis, S 4th St and Nicollet Mall

pawn shop up in flames near protest area

shooting less lethal marker rounds point blank lol

The green marker rounds produce 162 joules of energy - as much as a .32 caliber handgun

This is what the police use against the people https://www.defense-technology.com/products-1/?start=12&sz=12

Pawn shop has collapsed at 3rd precinct

HK protestor roles

Folks on the ground: Remember, your strength is in numbers! Act as one, communicate, and watch each other's backs!

Rough locations of 2 groups in downtown

Build your own Police Scanner:
1. Get a Software Defined Radio dongle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B011HVUEME

2. Get a trunking software system like sdrtrunk: https://github.com/DSheirer/sdrtrunk/

3. Find your local county trunking system's control channel, for MSP you can look at the ARMER system here: https://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?sid=3508

4. Follow these instructions to get your SDR set up: https://www.rtl-sdr.com/rtl-sdr-quick-start-guide/

5. Boot up SDRTrunk, configure a new channel pointing to the control channel in your county (ARMER uses P-25 Phase I, LSM simulcast for system and modulation)

We keep seeing national guard get on busses but not actually do anything on the streets. Either they're worried of this turning into a full on civil war, or they're preparing to do a fast strike to stop the protests all together.

Becareful out there
