Margaret Kimberley · Protests in Minneapolis Disrupted by Orange-Shirted “Collaborators” with Cops

A group calling themselves “violence interrupters” played a role in the October 7 arrest of 50 protesters demanding community control of police, said Jae Yates, of the Twin Cities Coalition for Justice for Jamar. “They are paid,” said Yates. “We know that this is a city council initiative.” During massive protests in June, members of the Minneapolis city council promised to disband the police force, but have since backed off that position. Yates says her group will “confront” the orange shirts and “tell them to leave” if they show up again at demonstrations.
