The situation in Minneapolis is not like anything we’ve seen before.
It’s not just an uptick in raids.
It is a full-scale military occupation, confronting you wherever you go.
You can’t drive more than a couple blocks without seeing roving bands of cars with tinted windows containing masked men in full military equipment:
helmets, balaclavas, long guns, tactical equipment, crowd control munitions.
They pull up to bus stops, leap out, grab a brown person, shove them in the car, then speed away.
They don’t check papers.
Some people have been held in detention centers for weeks before it came out that they were US citizens.
