MIAMI – A peaceful protest that began Saturday at 3 p.m. at the Torch of Friendship turned into a chaotic scene around nightfall prompting Miami-Dade County’s mayor to sign an emergency order for a curfew.
The order was put into place after there were reports of looting at Bayside Marketplace on Biscayne Boulevard.
A SWAT team was dispatched to the area and looters took off before police arrived. They had smashed the window of a Guess store with a trash can and took merchandise, along with looting other stores...
[Ah, Guess! Yes, those brutal racists working at a Guess store! That abusive merchandise they sell at Guess stores, STEAL IT! Great idea.]
...
The City of Lauderhill issued a statement that they had been working with Black Lives Matter for a protest Sunday to take place at the Lauderhill Performing Arts Center.
“We stand with the family and friends of George Floyd and all those who have lost their lives to police brutality or any social injustice."
[Not good enough for ya, huh?]
They postponed the event in the interest of public safety.
[That's what happens! Congratulations, you just stepped on your dicks]
“We hope to work with Black Lives Matter in the future to secure support from additional public safety agencies as well as identify an appropriate location for a peaceful protest.”
The mood starts to change
Around 5 p.m., a group had stopped traffic on Interstate 95. After they eventually cleared out, some of the protesters gathered in back of the City of Miami police department. Officers in riot gear held the line.
Things remained peaceful for more than an hour. Some in the crowd were throwing water bottles directly at the police, but there was no interaction with the protesters.
After a few people began throwing rocks around 7:45 p.m. near the City of Miami police department and firecrackers were tossed near police, tear gas was fired into the crowd.
[Tear gas at that precise moment, I don't know about that.]
Peaceful march turns into fiery protest in downtown Miami on Saturday.
Local 10 saw about four or five teenagers climb on top of a police car and start stomping on it. When the police car was set on fire, the protest took a different turn.
On the south side of the Miami police department headquarters, some other cruisers were torched. Several police cruisers under Interstate 95 were vandalized with windows smashed out, graffiti spray painted on them, and were heavily damaged.
Bursts of tear gas were released to push what had now become an unruly crowd.
[Tear gas there, no prob!]
Many of the original protesters said those who started the mayhem were agitators “from the outside.”
[Oh yeah, it's always outsiders. You guys have NO CREDIBILITY.]
