Always nice to see my photos being used for others to view the world as I saw it, moments in time locked for all of history. Huge thanks to @Alie_Pierce and @weekendernj ๐Ÿ“ธโคต

I do not condone or endorse any activity by any entity, I simply observe and report so citizens can be informed. What I observe coming into MPLS every day is sights like these becoming normal to see, which doesn't make it right. Pls don't shoot the photog. Stay safe everyone! :)

This is Perth Amboy, NJ. Are the police really arresting kids over bike registrations? Does it really require this many officers to address whatever situation this is? Police CANNOT continue to be our response to EVERYTHING.

Computer crashed at 54% of rendering the video, I'll have to try it again later, need to get back out in the field soon. If you haven't already, read the Temporary Restraining Order issued by US District Judge here: aclu-mn.org/sites/default/fiโ€ฆ
