Watching a live stream of what's going inside the precinct. It's my understanding SWAT/National Guard are coming and have been authorized to use lethal force. There's a lot of young protesters inside the building. Please retweet and let them know: GET OUT NOW #minneapolisriots
Currently watching live stream of #minneapolisriots, it's lagging in and out, I'm hearing the streamer say something about a blue laser in the distance. There's a fire where @AliVelshi was standing at 10pm during @maddow and protesters are chanting by the overturned fence.
As fireworks litter the sky ablaze, there are so many young protesters locked in arms chanting "no justice, no peace!" at the very place where I'm to believe SWAT/National Guard are authorized to use lethal force. The tension could not be higher.
"What's his name?"
"George Floyd!"

This echoes dozens of times before an eerie silence takes over. The streamer is commenting that the police force has centralized their efforts downtown to protect that area, effectively abandoning the 3rd precinct and the neighborhood around it
It's quiet. People are taking a moment to breathe and recover. I can hear explosions in the distance. The streamer is receiving information as it comes and standing by.
Streamer is interviewing protesters. Ages span from teens to upper 20s mostly. Some are wearing masks, some aren't, appears evenly split. One has a megaphone and is shouting affirmations. Many fists are in the air, arms are not tired, unrest continues with background explosions.
