Here's my leg today. This is from a non-lethal projectile, fired by Minneapolis police while I covered protests of #GeorgeFloyd last night. Stay safe folks

It's just so unfair that having one of their murders on tape got people all riled up against them. It's only logical that some innocent bystanders (if any there be /cop squint) are going to have to pay some of the price.

Just a few weeks ago a bunch of white dudes with actual Bazookas stormed the capitol building,
stood 2 inches away from the police and scream at the top of their lungs and the police just kinda
stood there and did nothing.

Sometimes I wonder if this is like Europe, pre WWII and if it's just a good idea for those of us who can to get out of here while we have the chance. I don't think I can, but I can only see things getting worse. I wish I could be more optimistic.

A few years ago, a young woman was killed by one of those non-lethal projectiles during a rowdy celebration of a sports victory here in Boston (can't remember which one).

She was hit in the eye and died.
