Walking back my earlier post: the Minneapolis Police Chief was wrong.

[nolabear]

He said this evening that his info that all those arrested were from out of state was wrong.

I don’t know what the facts are but I don’t want that false info to hold the day.

1. I saw something saying it was about 20% Minneapolis folks and 80% outsiders

which I guess means elsewhere in MN and other states.

2. I thought is was the majority.

What did he say he got wrong?

8. Most of the protesters are from Minnesota.

"Nevertheless, Hennepin County jail records and arrest records in St. Paul show the majority of those in custody are Minnesotans."

3. It's not "all" but apparently it's 80%.

That's pretty unacceptable and we need to pull back the curtains on who they are, who's funding them, and who's unleashing them.

[LisaL]

6. Not all, and not 80 % either.

4. I thought I heard 80% of those ARRESTED were from outside. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[LisaL]

5. Only it's not accurate.

[LakeArenal]

7. 🤷🏼‍♀️

9. Yes that's what he got wrong. Said his info was incorrect.

Things happen so fast now that accuracy really takes a beating even when intentions are good.

[LisaL]

10. Sounds like some wanted to portray it as being an outside event when it wasn't.

[nolabear]

12. Maybe. Or just trying to get info out so fast you believe rumors.

Who knows.

[LakeArenal]

14. It just seems to me folks are mixing up protestors with those arrested.

I only know what I hear. So we all sift through what we’ve heard to get to what we know. Which we may never know.
I just wish we could focus on the three still not charged. That would be some of the Justice folks could start to feel. The longer they go uncharged the worse the fever.

16. that's what i heard from a presser earlier this morning n/t

[abqtommy]

11. DAng, we can't rely on info about the virus or arrested protestors. Who woulda thunk?

[MichMan]

13. Wonder if all those who posted it as fact are going to admit they were wrong too

According to multiple posters here, the 80 % were all known to be from out of state with ties to white supremecy groups.

15. I hope the DA or police chief brings in the other 2 cops and arrest

This might go on awhile. What is taking them so long?
