Tumbling these statues in the water is a great move, but it's still symbolism. The system itself has to be turned upside down and flipped into the water.

A Colorado man who identifies with an anti-government group preparing for a civil war said police “stole” several of his guns when he went to Friday’s protest in Denver in response to the in-custody death of George Floyd.

Chevy McGee, 20, acknowledged over text messages the guns shared in a picture provided by Denver Police belong to him and a friend.

McGee identifies with the “Boogaloo” movement, which aims to prepare for a civil and race war.

The image of the police seizure includes three assault rifles, handguns, gas masks, tactical vests and ammunition.

McGee and his friend were not charged or cited and a spokesperson for the Denver Police Department (DPD) would not explain why or how police seized the firearms during Friday’s protest. Police would also not explain why they did not charge the men after seizing the guns.


“We were stopping by the protest to see what was going on and provided medical and water to people,” McGee said over text messages.

McGee said the guns and tactical gear were in the trunk of his vehicle while he was out at the protest.

“... we are avid shooters so we always keep our guns in the trunk as we often go shooting,” McGee added over text.

Earlier in May, 9Wants to Know aired a story featuring a live-stream video created by McGee when he reacted to the arrest of Bradley Bunn.

Bunn is currently under Federal custody for possessing pipe bombs.

An 'ANTIFA' Twitter account that called for looting 'white hoods' was actually run by white nationalist group Identity Evropa
  • A fake antifa Twitter account that called for violence was actually run by a white nationalist group, according to a Twitter spokesperson.

  • The account, "@ANTIFA_US," pretended to align with the Black Lives Matter movement and ongoing nationwide protests, and called for protesters to "move into residential areas... the white hoods.... and we take what's ours."

  • Twitter banned the account Monday for breaking its rules against platform manipulation, spam, and inciting violence.

A Twitter account that claimed to represent a national antifa organization and that urged protesters to loot "white" neighborhoods was actually run by white nationalist group Identity Evropa, according to a Twitter spokesperson.

The account, which posted under the handle "@ANTIFA_US," falsely aligned itself with ongoing Black Lives Matter protests nationwide. One tweet that called for protesters to "move into residential areas" and "take what's ours" was retweeted hundreds of times as of Sunday night.

Minnesota Officials Link Arrested Looters to ‘White Supremacist’ Groups

(CN) — As Minneapolis underwent a fourth night of protests over the death of George Floyd, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz said Saturday that most rioters arrested are from outside of the city and sought to take advantage of the chaos.

In a press conference held in the early hours of Saturday morning, Gov. Walz said he is authorizing “full mobilization” of the state’s National Guard, adding 1,000 National Guard to join the 700 already there, calling it “an action that has never been taken in the 164 year history of the Minnesota National Guard.”

“Our goal is to decimate that force as quickly as possible,” Walz said of rioters who looted and burned buildings. “Our cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul are under assault.”

Later in the day, Walz said 2,500 guardsmen and women would be activated. He said about 80% of those arrested for looting and vandalism could be outside agitators.

“Our great cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul are under assault by people who do not share our values, who do not value life and the work that went into this and are certainly not here to honor George Floyd,” Walz said. “They need to see today that that line will stop and order needs to be restored.”

“Let’s be very clear, the situation in Minneapolis is no longer in any way about the murder of George Floyd,” he added.

St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter said most of the arrests made last night were of people from out of state and while “there’s a group of folks that are sad and mourning,” he said “there seems to be another group that are using Mr. Floyd’s death as a cover to create havoc.”

Department of Safety Commissioner John Harrington said they are contact-tracing the arrested and added that an investigation is underway about white nationalist groups posting online to encourage their members to use the protests as a cover to create chaos.

He said some of the 40 arrests made in the Twin Cities Friday night were of people linked to white supremacist groups and organized crime.

“The people that are doing this are not Minneapolis residents,” Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said. “They are coming largely from outside the city outside the region to prey on everything we have built.”

On Saturday afternoon, President Donald Trump said military police were ready to deploy to Minneapolis if the governor asked.

“We have our military ready, willing and able, if they ever want to call our military. We can have troops on the ground very quickly,” Trump told reporters at the White House. “They’re using their National Guard right now, as you know.”

While the military is prohibited from acting as domestic law enforcement, the Insurrection Act of 1807 give state officials the ability to call for their help.

OC sheriff’s deputy investigated for wearing right-wing patch on uniform at a George Floyd protest

Sheriff Don Barnes decries the wearing of the non-approved “Oathkeeper” patch


Oathkeeper-1.jpg


“This deputy’s decision to wear these patches, and the implication of his association with an extremist group, is unacceptable and deeply concerning to me,” Barnes said. “Any symbol can have multiple meanings and is open to interpretation, which is why wearing of non-approved symbols and patches is strictly prohibited. Instances like this can forge a wedge separating law enforcement from the community we serve, especially during these turbulent times.”

Tough case to think about, at least George Floyd was racist cacs and we know that.
Dude ran and pointed a object at police, police lit him up

but then again can two outta shape cacs catch a young dude in a race or should the police issue a manhunt for a drunk dude in a car?

police still messed up but I’m thinking he should the cops handle it? Chase a breh most likely faster than you? Use police resources for a manhunt? I don’t know for a drunk dude in a car passed out.

Hey shythead. What does a bullet to the leg or arm do? Not fukkING KILL.

Where I grew up its not even okay to punch someone from behind. These cowards murdered someone running away that was ZERO threat to their lives.

Stop being a fukking bytch.

Also remember, you fukking bytch, that this is the safest time in this fukk ass country;s history to be a police officer. These nikkas are not in fear of black men and women, they are LOOKING FOR REASONS TO KILL US.
