I knew yesterday morning that there was a planned demonstration to demand justice for #GeorgeFloyd. I& #39;m not a super activist, I don& #39;t have access to secret information, I& #39;m just moderately tuned in to what& #39;s going on around me. So let& #39;s assume MPD is at least as informed as I am.
That means MPD had better than 8 hours to prepare for what could be a volatile situation, because their officers killed #GeorgeFloyd. 8 hours is plenty of time to harden the precinct, put up barriers, move squad cars, secure loaded weapons, you know, basics. But they didn& #39;t.
Instead, they dispatched riot police in full tactical gear on what was a mainly peaceful march. They escalated. They continue to escalate. They chose this. They& #39;re getting exactly what they want. That& #39;s on Chief Arradondo. That& #39;s on @MayorFrey. #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd
