It’s lost in the noise now, but I felt very clearly on that first day of real violence in 2020 — and still maintain now — that the Minneapolis Police turned the protests violent to send a signal to the city that charging police with a crime was unacceptable.
“You hurt us? We hurt your city.” That was the message, clear as day. That’s why police instigated and fomented violence. That’s why they stopped firefighters from putting out fires.
Yes, I am still angry.
