Walking back my earlier post: the Minneapolis Police Chief was wrong. [View all]

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.

I saw something saying it was about 20% Minneapolis folks and 80% outsiders Thomas Hurt May 2020 #1

I thought is was the majority. Jamastiene May 2020 #2

Most of the protesters are from Minnesota. LisaL May 2020 #8

It's not "all" but apparently it's 80%. LisaM May 2020 #3

Not all, and not 80 % either. LisaL May 2020 #6

I thought I heard 80% of those ARRESTED were from outside. 🤷🏼‍♀️ LakeArenal May 2020 #4

Only it's not accurate. LisaL May 2020 #5

Yes that's what he got wrong. Said his info was incorrect. nolabear May 2020 #9

Sounds like some wanted to portray it as being an outside event when it wasn't. LisaL May 2020 #10

Maybe. Or just trying to get info out so fast you believe rumors. nolabear May 2020 #12

It just seems to me folks are mixing up protestors with those arrested. LakeArenal May 2020 #14

that's what i heard from a presser earlier this morning n/t orleans May 2020 #16

DAng, we can't rely on info about the virus or arrested protestors. Who woulda thunk? abqtommy May 2020 #11

Wonder if all those who posted it as fact are going to admit they were wrong too MichMan May 2020 #13

I hope the DA or police chief brings in the other 2 cops and arrest FloridaBlues May 2020 #15
