MN Atty Gen Keith Ellison lays it down truthfully. Says vast majority of protestors are good and righteous and taking a stand for justice, but that evil elements are infiltrating the protests to cause damage & lower people’s opinion of the protesters. Asks people to honor curfew.

Ma'am, I don't know what elements they may be discussing. We are supposed to take their word for this? Our own people--some are evil according to police who protected persistent flagrant evildoers in their ranks? I am not inclined to believe them given their abysmal record.

Weird because he actually supported these "evil" tactics prior to election... Voters in Minnesota get what they voted for... and what they deserve... #KeithEllison #AntifaTerrorists

In 2009 I organized several events during our marriage equality rallies and marches. Anarchists, primarily young white men, would try and infiltrate our ranks. They’re organized, manipulative and clever. ID and photo them and report them to the city. That’s what we did. It works.

Likely, the “evil element” are agent provocateurs, that have infiltrated the protests with the goal of escalating violence & looting The pigs do that

20% true protesters and 80% domestic terrorists that’s what I heard MN officials say today. It’s awful these grieving communities are being destroyed when they already can’t breathe. If you listen closely POTUS is saying the same thing.

Extremely annoyed that you would frame people exploding in rage against a system that has rejected peaceful change for 50+ years and is literally terrorizing us on a regular basis "evil." The system is the evil.

Honestly: fuck a curfew. Protests are MEANT to be a show of force against an oppressor. A protest the gov't approves of is a parade. While i love what @KillerMike & others have said abt going home & organizing, this mov't is gaining steam. you lose nat'l attn by following rules

Let me lay it down truthfully. The "evil elements infiltrating the protests to cause damage & lower people's opinion of the protesters" are cops. Tell them to stop inciting riots/violence, and honor their code to serve & protect, stand with the people and END RACISM.
