"Watching America Unravel in Minneapolis."
This is oustanding journalism by a New York Times reporter. It helped me realize what is happening there, and just how bad everything is. I recommend it, which doesn't mean I endorse every line.

This level of false claims from law enforcement about easily observable events really brings me back to the Ferguson days.

The official policy of the government of the United States of America is that they will murder anyone they want, that they will tell any lie necessary to justify that murder, and that no one who resists them has any rights they are bound to respect.

Just staggered by the complete moral void of not even *pretending* to wait for more information before pivoting to “the opponent of the state deserved it.” It is so insanely depraved. Soulless.

ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.
