yesterday in Mpls whom both said it could have gotten much worse had it not been for certain persons within the Protest working together shutting down the bad actors as well as filming and exposing the over zealous Cops and Hiway Troopers. The over zealous Guard People were Rank and File Cops from out State Towns.

All three of us fully expected Atlanta to be the next Tinder Box. Damn,hate to say I told you so. And so it begins and this one is going to be real ugly.

then shot the victim in the back in revenge, they look like 2 scared cops..
They already interfered with the investigations by picking up their bullet casing..
They need to be arrested asap, and taken off the streets..
Let the streets speak..
