I was just at the grocery store in South Minneapolis, just walking out, and a full size SUV with out of state plates and blacked out windows drove by, and the guy walking out ahead of me was like "Oh hell no!" and jumped in his car to follow it, honking the whole time.
This is what we do here, this is how we defend our neighbors. I wear a whistle all the time, I keep my phone charged, I'm ready to document, I'm ready to defend. There's only so much we can do vs truckloads of heavily armed thugs, but we can pay witness, we can make sure we get names of the people they're taking in so we can spread the word and make sure the families and legal aid are notified. We can make it as difficult as possible (within reason so we don't have more shootings) for them to do their jobs.
It breaks my heart every time I see video of someone being dragged off, and IT HAS TO STOP. Right now we have to win it in the courts, so EVERYTHING needs to be documented, every instance, every one of their vehicles, every one of their masked faces, all of it. The time will come for justice, and when it comes, we need every bit of it we can so these fascists can be held accountable.
If the courts fail us, I don't know what will happen, but it will be ugly, and there will be bloodshed.
