Yeah, I was thinking about that as I read this part specifically:

Friday, the Minneapolis City Council approved $1,181,500 for communications around the trial, which include money for the social media influencer campaign. City coordinator Mark Ruff said during a council meeting on Friday, where the funding was voted on and approved, that the city’s “anticipation is that those contracts will be around de-escalation and increased community communication … [it] will be emphasizing communications especially on cultural radio and through social media influencers and making sure we get the word out about what’s happening with the trials.”

He added that they will also focus on “what the options are for the community to engage, and particularly communities who are not utilizing the city's website or other traditional media sources where there will be information also disseminated."

It’s incredibly funny to me that they’re gonna try and “spread awareness” about a fucking Facebook to comment on or whatever, when there are gonna be thousands of incredibly, justifiably pissed off people reading to burn the city to the fucking ground.

I just can’t imagine being the person who thinks to themselves, “well, last time people rioted for weeks straight and burned down a police station, among other things. Maybe this time we can funnel that energy into some bullshit see-and-say shit”
