I lived in Minneapolis for 30 plus years and drove a cab for 12 of them,

This area of Mpls is historically underserved by law enforcement to begin with, along with many cases of racial profiling, police abuse etc.

This is a powder keg and ICE knows it.

It's gonna get real bad again tonight.

Sorry to be so pessimistic.

I think this is deliberately provocative and on brand with all the other mischief they have been trying to stir up in Minnesota recently.

They still aren't over the reaction to George Floyd's murder, as they are making abundantly clear.

Minneapolis would be a great place to start saying Hell No to all of this shit.
I hope this is as galvanizing as George Floyd was, and I say this with incredible sadness.
After all, she was white.
