"A Hennepin County judge is weighing whether all four former officers will be tried jointly. A tentative trial date has been set for March 2021."

"It is unclear where Chauvin might go. Under bail conditions, he is not allowed to leave Minnesota. His former home in the Twin Cities suburbs was recently sold. Members of his family have repeatedly declined to comment on his arrest, though unidentified relatives last month launched an online fundraiser through the site Give Send Go seeking to raise funds for Chauvin’s bail fund. A message posted there last week said the fundraising “has been slower than what we had expected.” As of Wednesday, the fund had raised just less than $4,000."

Mayor kenney is going after guns again. Gun control means more policing. Means more police violence
We support our bipoc comrades rights to arm and self defense. We believe cities like Philadelphia have taken steps to incite violence by instilling fears in the PPD over individuals possessing guns like other departments. I'm tired of the city inciting violence in our neighborhoods over something neighboring communities and especially white communities pride themselves on with Gun possession. Black folks have a 2nd amendment right to bear arms and form a well regulated militia. But those words create fear among whites. This needs to stop. Especially since there are so many white supremacist paramilitary operatives nationwide serving in our police forces, and being deputized when they arent.
I'm tired of the mayor, city council, and ppd looking for new crimes to write up to charge and harass civilians over.

#Minneapolis Remember: The debate is recorded. You can watch it on youtube tomorrow. Tonight we must speak up! That is a bigger priority for the movement tonight than watching a dumb debate between a Christofascist and a cop that are not listening to us. Let's get more folks in the streets tonight than folks watching the debates

#Minneapolis #Scanner: Police requesting a unit to go to the GFS. Police haven't given us too much info on scanner. If you are live streaming or can, you totally should. It'll give us an additional source to reference what is happening on the ground. Please film in the direction of police and not protesters to protect our comrades.
