From Max’s Dad:
This damn demonstration was NEVER going to be allowed to happen. The common sense solution is to let it happen, get it off their chests and in some instances join arms and march together like in Camden, NJ, Santa Cruz,Ca , and Flint, Mi. But this is really not a common sense town. Like most other cities cops exist not to Protect and Serve, but to crack down on anything that stops the daily grind of Midwest values, in other words, keep the white people comfortable.
The City Prosecutor declared the First Amendment “unlawful” around 7pm and the tear gas, the pepper balls, the lock step marching of Sheriffs riot squad and the State Patrol pretend riot squad began moving the people in the street into a corral. It is just so unnecessary for cops to provoke people with a show of military might. The crowd drove off the MAGA idiots real fast who drove off in fear.
This was basically over.
What they didnt realize was that downtown, a whole different band of protesters were gathering around Omaha Police Headquarters.
Tear gas, pepper balls, beat downs, it all just moved downtown. This demonstration was much different. This demonstration contained many more people who probably couldn’t spell George Floyd much less say his name. And the riot continues but much like the night before by 10 pm the people genuinely concerned had gone home, and all that was left were the vandals trying to smash windows (one particular weakling trying to smash a window and failing each time was particularly pathetic) and invite trouble.
And then it happened. A person was shot to death.
