On the 16th of July, MPD cops at Black Lives Matter menaced protesters and attempted to intimidate them into removing a table used for a "paint and protest" sign-making workshop. The cops cited vending laws even though nothing was for sale, only to back down when protesters refused to remove the table. The vending enforcement goons did not even show up.
One of the worst offenders, name plate R Adams and badge number 2742 was called out by protesters for a record of having physically abused his spouse. This led to warnings he could face prison himself and would do very hard time.
