Walter Mondale had a great sense of humor. When the Star Tribune moved into a new office building in 2015, he asked me how I liked the new digs. I said I missed the old grungy newsroom. He replied, “I have confidence you’ll grunge up the new place in no time.”

Most people outside Brooklyn Center PD tonight are groups I’m told committed to keeping the peace: Mothers Love, Salem Inc., We Push for Peace and Freedom Fighters. After eating barbecue put on by Twin Cities Relief, they are in their cars. Virtually no ‘rank and file’ protesters

The crowd outside the Brooklyn Park Police Department grew to over 30 at 5 pm but quickly dropped to 15 or 20 as word spread about a rally for George Floyd at the Hennepin Country Govt Center going on now. People piled into cars and headed downtown.

At 4 pm today it’s all quiet outside the Brooklyn Center Police Department. Several National Guard members are behind two layers of fencing, talking to each other. A handful of protesters are sitting in their cars on this brisk afternoon and there are occasional snowflakes.

All quiet outside the Brooklyn Center Police Department right now. Not a single protester in sight.
