Night 3, and we appear to be at the precipice

This is more for Night Three of the George Floyd unrest than anything else.
  • Appears to have been at least one skirmish in New York City's demonstrations:

  • It appears as if shots have been fired in Denver -- not clear from which side at the moment. 

  • And THIS isn't going to help matters any, especially now that the National Guard has been called in to Minneapolis:

  • It now appears as if St. Paul is burning too.
  • And there are reports that at least one St. Paul police officer has acted as an agent provocateur/agitprop in this situation.  If that's the case...     
  • The building at the center of the Night Two protests, the Third Precinct of the Minneapolis Police Department, has been taken and burned to the ground.   Now you don't have a choice...   
  • And Trump just tweeted, implying just that.  The problem is, he's at least 24 hours too late, if not 36...    
  • Unconfirmed: Several critically injured (one report said two, another seven) after shots fired at the Louisville protest.  The cops fired live rounds into the crowd.  They've had enough...
  • And now it's up to five precinct buildings burning in Minneapolis. 
  • And, from one side or the other, at least one livestream report now has shots fired in Minneapolis.
