amount of traffic. (Most of the streaming was at Lake & Hiwatha and Lake & Minnehaha and nearby), and I thought there's no way there's anywhere near that kind of traffic normally even in that major intersections area at 2 am and 3 am. (For people out of state: we haven't opened bars and restaurants yet, other than takeout only). So all I can figure is not only was most of that car traffic from protesters, but also from protesters who stayed there that late.
Some of those people drove there??
While I'm at it, MetroTransit has suspended ALL bus and light rail trips until Monday. Two exceptions: the shuttle between the two terminals of the airport and the Northstar commuter line.

Another aside: I had the illusion until this morning that last night's (Wednesday night's) rioting was just in the area of the 3rd Precinct near Lake & Hiawatha and Minnehaha. This makes clear it was in several places in both Minneapolis and St. Paul:

Plenty more to add to the list from what I've seen on live video early this evening, and I have no illusion that the worst is over for tonight.
