FYI: Mpls and St. Paul have excellent community organizers that deescalate people at protests.

They will be out in full force helping to keep things calm.

The George Floyd riots, IMO, were created by intentional agitators, such as the ones that set the police precinct on fire.

The organizers have learned and are on alert. They do amazing work!

Don't provide 'cover' (or excuses) for thugs.
