General bad behavior modeled by Trump is obvious with the protests in LA. There are members of the police who are aiming at journalists with their non-lethal rounds, quite a few report being hit in a way that wasn't just a passing blow. Trump's the one who wanted to rough them up.

A man disguised in a police costume approached two political representatives homes in Minnesota, killing two (Melissa and Mark Hortman) and injuring two others (John and Yvette Hoffman). With all of the disguised ICE and other federal officers, and costumes for sale on Amazon, this isn't a huge surprise, but it is incredibly disappointing that more isn't done to shift the tone. Make the federal folks wear name tags and show their faces. Stop the knockoff costumes, make them look less realistic (same with toy guns).

Reports continue to come in to refine the numbers for Saturday's marches and demonstrations. It was a heckuva lot of people.
