According to details, the BLM protestors are trying to break down a fence protecting a Brooklyn Center police station and police are having a difficult time enforcing the curfew and dispersing the crowd.
Independent journalist Andy Ngo reports that members of Antifa are also in the crowd. Ngo also reported that an Antifa Twitter account posted a message Tuesday encouraging looting and rioting, telling participants that they’re “doing the right thing.”
