Context on state police and inter-agency compacts is key as extra forces are now tapped to pacify #GeorgeFloyd uprising.

In 2018 we proved cops from across MN were training at a military base to prepare to repress protests against the #Line3 pipeline:

After an introduction via the shadowy private nonprofit ‘International Association of Chiefs of Police’, @Enbridge oil private security staff were able to directly request government assistance in dealing with potential future pipeline protests from concerned MN residents

We were the first to uncover the existence of the ‘Northern Lights Task Force’, an inter-agency Minnesota police project coordinating with pipeline employees to prepare to repress indigenous and environmental protesters concerned about #Line3:

In 2018, Minnesota State Patrol (the agency now taking point on #GeorgeFloyd protests) was requesting protest policing advice from North Dakota law enforcement leaders responsible for extreme brutality against Native protesters at Standing Rock in 2016: https://unicornriot.ninja/2019/multi_agency_task_force_prepares_rules_of_engagement_for_line_3_protests/

During Standing Rock #NoDAPL protests in 2016, many Twin Cities residents were upset that @HennepinSheriff was deployed to North Dakota where they served as front-line troops on one of the most violent raids on an indigenous encampment (10/27/2016)

After Hennepin County deputies were seen beating people at Standing Rock, a massive #NoDAPL solidarity rally and sit in at Minneapolis city hall led to the deputies being withdrawn from North Dakota: https://unicornriot.ninja/2016/nodapl-solidarity-rally-sit-minneapolis-prods-sheriff-removing-deputies/

Brutal police tactics used at Standing Rock are now being farmed out as a model for other agencies dealing with mass protests.

We obtained full recording of @NationalSheriff strategy seminar on this - officers told to hide badges to avoid accountability.
