· 20h
On January 7, 2021:

MPD made 68 arrests
56 officers injured – 2 hospitalized
6 firearms recovered
2 pipe bombs recovered

Unrest-Arrest Data updated daily @ 9 am: https://bit.ly/38ly8Rd "
--------

Crazy things can happen when your actions are based on unchecked propaganda and lies. Whether you're on the left or the right critical thinking and proper intelligence gathering is very important before you take direct action.
