iCE protests

There were many, and there will be many more.  I'll be attending one in my city tomorrow.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Police Chief Brian O’Hara are asking protestors to keep things peaceful.

Mayor Frey began his press conference Saturday morning, applauding the actions of Minneapolis residents, stating he was inspired by their stepping up to help their neighbors and by their demonstrations remaining relatively peaceful.

However, Frey said that those demonstrators who have not been as peaceful and taken more destructive actions would be arrested.

“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,” Frey said. “If you cause damage to property or put others in danger, you’re going to be arrested.”

Frey’s comments come after approximately 29 people were arrested during a protest in downtown Minneapolis on Friday night. There, some demonstrators reportedly damaged property by throwing rocks, ice, and snow at vehicles and threw those same items officers.
