These antifa folks who were lavishing violence yesterday are fronting non-violence today. Guy is calling for "bodies" and yelling at this crowd to stick together and fight against leathal force. They are using the things that need change as leverage for bodies for their cause. 

It's FUCKED!

(this situation deescalated.)

suddenly they are "peaceful protestors" again; when the crowd is large they're calling for suicide against police. When the police "win" small skirmishes, they victim farm the hell out of themselves.

They're working really hard to sell the police are trying to incite the violence, as if the last 2 nights didn't happen. 

One thing he certainly is right about, there isn't much of any destruction or violence in his shot tonight. Just dispersed folks walking around, pacing the line of officers following behind.

Live feeds as posts in threads is strange, but here's another dude's feed:

(I can't imagine what it's like to not be witnessing this stuff live and to wake up tomorrow with an an easy dismissive opinion.)

A female cashier at the 27th W Kwik Trip in the West End of Duluth was drug out and beaten by a group of men.

REAL fucking justice...

apparently this Quik Trip stayed open and was a savior in a way to protestors clashing with police - selling milk and water.

Dudes came in and started looting. Employee tried to lock the door, allegedly assuming others would follow. They did, and the employee locked the door. They drug the employee out of the store, beat them and fled in a car.

The highways are shut down state wide it appears. Thought to check the MNDot cams after remembering someone on stream in MPLS said 35 was shut down. I thought they meant access into MPLS, and it appears it's not just 35 that is shut down.

I kept reading on Twitter that people we're coming up from MPLS. Violence broke out up here, and people were running wild on local facebook wondering who and what the fuck. Not sure when the highways were shut down statewide, but nobody is moving in and out of towns right now (2:58 am).

Minny kare news reports the stats on arrested  rioters being all out of state is a lie,  38 of 45 were in fact minny residents, out of state,   and one had no address.  The reporters  went through the police logs for their story so I assume they are correct. 

What kind of bullshit is that mayor and gov trying to cover up?  Or at least somebody was trying to cover something up by making that totally false first statement.

That info made no sense to me when I heard it: 80% of the protesters were out of state?? Such bullshit. How would anyone even be able to substantiate that blanket statement? The why would be interesting to know.
