#socialmedia IMPORTANT: The city of Brooklyn Center has issued a mayoral emergency proclamation imposing a citywide curfew starting at 11:00 p.m. Friday, April 16, 2021 until 6:00 a.m. Saturday, April 17, 2021.

This curfew has been issued 20 minutes before it goes into effect and is clearly an excuse to arrest more people.
