“When the looting starts, the shooting starts,” is a threat coined by Miami Police Chief Walter Headley, who promised violent reprisals on black protesters in 1967. He also said: “We don’t mind being accused of police brutality. They haven’t seen anything yet.” https://t.co/inm7T4N804 pic.twitter.com/yfYY59Xfel

Surveillance video from outside a Minneapolis restaurant appears to contradict police claims that George Floyd resisted arrest before an officer knelt on his neck https://t.co/jJbtVEy2ML

— CNN International (@cnni) May 28, 2020

Video shows a suspicious white man breaking windows at the Minneapolis Auto Zone and then walking away from the scene. This looks like an effort to instigate trouble in order to blame the protesters for the consequences.

Without Facebook, Trump would never have won in 2016, and he knows he needs it now more than ever and Zuckerberg knows he needs it, so I'm pretty sure this tantrum is 99% just the distraction of the day. https://t.co/APpmjZlYl8

The reality is that if you or I tweeted half the stuff Trump has we’d be booted from the platform permanently.

But Twitter fact checks Trump ONE TIME and he loses his shit and abuses the power of his office to retaliate against them.

6 months is just long enough for Cummings to install his ARPA fantasy of a privatised tech state and — of course — deliver a no deal Brexit to any disaster capitalist hedge fund backers. https://t.co/vw9zlUlRxP

— Peter Jukes (@peterjukes) May 28, 2020

Cummings reportedly wants to "get Brexit done" on his own terms, before quitting at his own convenience and to his own satisfaction. If you're still believing that "Take Back Control" shite, you're the reason scam emails about releasing dead people's fortunes exist.
