As protests intensified in the Minneapolis suburb where a police officer fatally shot Daunte Wright, a group of Black men joined the crowd intent on keeping the peace and preventing protests from escalating into violence.
Hundreds of people have gathered outside the heavily guarded Brooklyn Center police station every night since Sunday, when former Officer Kim Potter, who is white, shot the 20-year-old Black motorist during a traffic stop. Despite the mayor’s calls for law enforcement and protesters to scale back their tactics, the nights have often ended in objects hurled, tear gas and arrests.
The Black men at the edge of the crowd wear yellow patches on protective vests that identify them as members of the Minnesota Freedom Fighters, a group formed to provide security in Minneapolis’ north side neighborhoods during unrest following the death of George Floyd last year. They are not shy about casting a forceful image — the group’s Facebook page features members posing with assault-style weapons and describes itself as an “elite security unit” — but on Friday the Freedom Fighters didn’t appear to be armed and said they intended only to encourage peaceful protesting.

The group’s Facebook page features members posing with assault-style weapons, but the shills come to impending Riots UNARMED (Firearms).
Don’t need an armed group for ‘protesters’.
Anyone else see the story that a George Floyd’s girlfriend was one of Daunte’s high school teachers? Small world.
Are they there to protect lives and property, or are they there tonsupport BLM?
The article uppercases black and lowercases White, proving that it was written by a worthless racist.
These morons will fire on the police and all hell will open up.
Are they still blaming Trump for what happens on Biden’s watch?
My guess is weapons are close by.
Sounds like they’re trying to keep the peace and keep people from burning things down to me. I would argue that’s a good thing
They are shills supporting BLM, get good press and falsely purport there are sanctioned armed patrols at “protests”.
Agreed.
Well, they are black so they won’t be vilified for being far right domestic terrorists.
Do know violence with firearms present will be False Flagged blaming Conservative Whites.
“...Officer Kim Potter, who is white, shot the 20-year-old Black motorist...”
IMO opinion. that first night when the local police, state police and national guard were present in goodly numbers they missed the boat by just taking defensive tactics.
What if they had divided their forces and brought one group up behind the rioters and surrounded them? Then arresting them, booking, and locking them up, publicizing their mug shots the next day.
You never win a battle staying on defense, you have to take the battle to them on your terms. IMO

“NEW YORK (AP) — After changing its usage rules last month to capitalize the word “Black” when used in the context of race and culture, The Associated Press on Monday said it would not do the same for “white.”
The AP said white people in general have much less shared history and culture, and don’t have the experience of being discriminated against because of skin color.”
You would think that a school teacher could do much better than that.
The AP said white people in general have much less shared history and culture, and don’t have the experience of being discriminated against because of skin color.”
I for one am getting tired of this B.S. I want black Americans to be successful and happy in the most wonderful nation on earth, but I’m not going to defer to them.
