The George Floyd/Black Lives Matter protests and police conduct

^^^ That's funny.

Denver is planning to enforce an 8pm curfew tonight. 3rd night of protests and the crowd as of now is the biggest yet. $999 fine and 300 days in jail...

One guy already transported to the hospital.....hit in the eye with a pepper ball.  Ouch!

I have hit someone in the eye with a nut...they didn't have to go to the hospital but...we don't talk anymore.

We (at least the Omahans) got an alert on our phones to not drive near 72nd and Dodge. That was an hour or 2 ago.

We did?  I did not get that!

I saw a tweet about it...but nothing else.  Maybe your provider?  I have Verizon.

Anyway...my buddy drove by 72nd and Dodge this morning...he said it looked terrible.

Ya I have Verizon too. Maybe there's a way to turn it off or maybe it's my proximity to 72nd and Dodge. I'm not super far from there.

This reporter guy on MSNBC is a whiner. He got hit in the knee with a rubber bullet. Says police just pulled in, unprovoked, and started firing teargas and rubber bullets. Hello numbnuts, there was an 8pm curfew in Minneapolis Which was about an hour ago. WTH are you still doing on the street?

I think we still need reporters there documenting this stuff. But maybe not being surprised when the police try to disperse a crowd.

I agree, they should be there covering it. But maybe don't be so indignant about it when they're right in the middle of things and they e been warned it's coming. Whiner guy had to mention how out of line the police were in every other sentence since he took a little gas and got hit with a rubber bullet.
