For the most part, the Minneapolis police have been AWOL and non-existent in dealing with left wing extremist terrorists attack ICE officers. They can run, but they can’t hide as one of them managed to get doinked in the head with a big chunk of ice thrown by a Democrat “protester”.
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said Saturday that 29 people were arrested overnight during anti-ICE demonstrations in downtown Minneapolis.
“It was well over a thousand individuals, we believe that we’re assembled there. And as those individuals broke off from the crowd, we had some other marches that then continued downtown. Ultimately, by 1 a.m., all of these individuals were either dispersed or placed under arrest. There were 29 arrests last night. We are aware of one police officer that was injured from a chunk of ice that was thrown at them,” O’Hara said.
“Obviously, there’s a number of additional marches and protests that we will be monitoring today, and we are fully prepared if things cross the line and become unlawful to make additional arrests if necessary,” he added.
“I also want to acknowledge that the vast majority of people have protested peacefully,” Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said. “And to the few that have caused damage to property and or harm to others, I need to be very clear. We’re not going to let that happen. If you cause damage to property, or put others in danger, you’re going to be arrested.”
O’Hara told reporters Saturday, “Last night at about 7 p.m., there was a gathering outside the Canopy hotel in downtown Minneapolis. That gathering began as all the other gatherings around hotels had been conducted over the last several days, largely peaceful.
“Mainly a noise protest that was occurring, trying to disrupt the activities at the hotel. Unfortunately, that changed last night,” O’Hara said. “Individuals at the Canopy then began marching on Washington Avenue towards The Depot and the Renaissance Hotel. While they were there, some individuals broke off from that group, and in the rear, they caused some damage to that hotel. Damage to some of the windows and some graffiti damage.”
