We are aware that they have posted a statement as soon as possible to control the narrative around their behavior this past Sunday.

Sitting at a protest when attacked can be dangerous to yourself and others, and it limits tactical options to resist or escape attackers.
Promoting that protests are always "supposed to be peaceful" undermines other activists.
Timely reminder

But realize this: the more protection you carry, the more likely cops are to claim you are rioting, and the more likely they are to target you. It is a trade off of risks.
So, get larger goggles that are impact resistant. Ideally get ballistic googles. They are available for around 20$.

Small swim goggles can rest in the eye well and be pushed into the eye if struck hard.
Swim goggles are good for chemical irritants. You'll be coughing and oozing mucous, but you'll be able to see.
But some swim goggles are particularly bad for impact.
Lots of folks are suggesting swim goggles for protests in the last week. Let's talk some trade-offs for protest eye protection.
We have two concerns: chemical irritants and impact from debris, assault, and "less lethal rounds".
Google and Meta search both report that Cape Breton Island has its own time zone 12 minutes ahead of mainland Nova Scotia time because they are both drawing that information from a Beaverton article I wrote in 2024

Avoid the violence/nonviolence debate. Itβs a trap.
The only thing that matters is what actions lead to more justice and less harm.
Inaction and complicity in the face of brutal oppression is the worst form of violence. Never forget it.

And particularly with the 3rd precinct, a kid who went to jail for the burning was not a Minneapolis resident, but he did it because of his outrage at the murder because he knew George Floyd.
Community outrage burned the precinct. Give credit where credit is due.
But the outside instigator narrative is also used to steal credit from the people for standing up in 1000s of ways, including forming community defense groups to protect our neighborhoods from the outside instigator who just wanted to cause harm.

There is a false narrative that this was done by "outside instigators" which robs the community of it's agency in the response to the killing
I'm looking forward to Sharon Otterman on how MLK's marches were "reckless" and Biko's speeches were "dangerous" and how we can't talk about Indiginous boarding school mass graves because it "hurts tribal relations with white people".

The copaganda is so absurd in this podunk town with its podunk local media, Fox 9 went to Anoka county to ask their county attorney for his raggedy ass opinion, which last I checked nobody in Hennepin County gave a fuck about and why we elected Moriarity with 57% of the vote.
