Some protesters, news crews, and medics in Minneapolis found themselves stranded after recent protests: The tires of their cars had been slashed.

Many assumed protesters were to blame. But videos reveal a different culprit: the police. https://bit.ly/30nl8XQ

Minneapolis Police slashed every tire on my rental car, as well as every tire of every car in this parking lot.

For those asking how I know it was the police... police overtook this entire area shortly after the protest began. No protester would’ve been able to get in here after that. I got stopped by National Guard and was able to get through with my press badge. It was the @MinneapolisPD

The police also destroyed the entire medical encampment that was put up in the same parking lot. What a disgrace.



Video proof of police slashing tires.

A video of my life stream showing a line of cops in the Kmart parking lot, approaching the truck, and slashing the tires. Sorry you can’t see better

16. Probably for him...

it's the best sex he's ever had.

[eppur_se_muova]

4. Police can't know which cars belong to protestors. They are wanting this to be blamed on protestors.

They know that a lot of people will hear about the damage by word of mouth and assume it was all caused by the protestors, not by police or provocateurs. FBI needs to look into such practices -- starting in January, of course.

6. Call me crazy but...

I convinced all of this unlawful behavior by cops is being orchestrated by AG Barr's "Justice" dept.

They really are tying to follow the Hitler playbook with false flag ops and stormtrooper tactics.

11. MPD was an utter shitshow without national coordination.

[cwydro]

19. A complete clusterfuck.

I like the mayor, but he seems to have lost the plot early on. I do feel for him though; this went badly very fast. Not sure how I feel about the governor there.

Much more impressed with Mayor Bottoms, as well as the two mayors of DC and Chicago.

18. I'm sure you're right about that. ...nt

22. +1, they seem to have approval from somewhere on high

[crickets]

27. Interesting point. nt

[MichMan]

7. Isnt that what some people here were proposing to stop all the out of state rioters?

Saw several posts a day or so ago ? People were saying that local protesters weren't driving , but out of state anarchists were.

[Afromania]

10. Yup, the mask is off.

[Bayard]

12. I don't see cops actually slashing tires in any of these clips

I see cars with flat tires.

[Hoyt]

14. Me neither.

[MelissaB]

17. Nobody on video slashing tires, just people saying they were doing it & not filming it.

Not buying it.

[uponit7771]

23. +1, we need to see the police actions in these videos not claims of actions

40. Yes it is, the police went around rioting and looting the sense of safety

[sarisataka]

24. Details, details

A couple nights back there were reports of carloads of white guys driving around Minneapolis flying Confederate and Nazi flags while they set fires.

Somehow not a single picture was ever taken of these cars...

13. We know why now.

The police disrupted a group of agitators that came from outside. They discovered the outsiders brought rocks in their cars, and the cars were also rentals. So, by slashing the tires they stopped them from driving from one block to the other to continue violent clashes.

[ForgoTheConsequence]

37. Sure.

And they kneeled on Mr. Floyd's neck because he was resisting...Did the police union feed you that information?

[MelissaB]

15. Nobody was slashing tires in the video. It was people saying they did/are & not filimg it.

I call bullshit.

[ForgoTheConsequence]

33. They have admitted to it.

A month ago you wouldn't have believed Mr. Floyd was murdered if there wasn't footage. Shame on you.

[Nitram]

20. Not much has changed since 1968.

Do you not think a corrupt department capable of murder is capable of slashing and deflating tires? Shame on you. BLM.

[msongs]

28. everything on twitter is 100% true always nt

Was the murder of Mr. Floyd a hoax, too? Shame on you.

[Lancero]

29. For those saying that police wouldn't be so cruel as to slash tires...

You do remember just why these protests started, right?

In the list of shit that police do these days, from murder in the streets to rape in the back of their cars, slashing tires is tame by comparison.

Police have proven, time after time, that they no longer deserve the benefit of the doubt. If you're still giving them that benefit, then congrats - You're a police apologist, and you're part of the problem.

[ForgoTheConsequence]

35. Exactly.

If these acts of violence weren't caught on tape they would be dismissing them also. If you're capable of murder you're capable of slashing tires. BLM.
