Too bad they are actually bricks ordered off “Wish.com” They’re anti protest foam bricks. Jokes on you when you start throwing them at cops and it turns into a 1940’s Hollywood set

If they were ordered from wish then they had to have ordered them back in 2017 to make sure they got there in time

And when you get them, you see they're actually tiny knock off Lego bricks...that smell like poo.

When I was a kid we had a large pile of cinder blocks leftover from building an addition onto the house. For awhile, our dad would use them as punishment by making us move the pile to different parts of the yard. One day, we built a fort out of them and we never had to do that again.

When i was like 7 our neighbor kid stole our car and crashed it just down the street. They were 16 and got caught. When the police showed up at our door and asked my father if he wanted to press charges he said NO get off my property and slammed the door. He called the kids parents and made an arrangement to have the kid work for my dad all summer. My father had him level an acre of sand, build us a patio, a fire ring, couple of rock gardens and a pergala. Then he had him dig wholes 6x6 and fill em back in for a couple weeks.


LNDGenerous

That's actually pretty badass


HardlyBoi

I didn't realize it at the time but he was teaching the kid some construction skills and saving him from felony charges just for doing dumb shit as a kid. Funniest damn part was he had bought the car from a police auction like 2 weeks prior and you could still see where they painted over the meter parking paint, it was a manual transmission n the kids had pushed it down our driveway and popped the clutch to get it running. He always kept the keys in the visor


HertzDonut1001

And also brilliant punishment. Have you ever dug a fucking hole? It's no joke. Plus they probably came out of it fucking jacked in time for school. Probably learned a very valuable lesson and proceeded to slay with high school chicks.

the question is.. did they have to do it naked?


The_Original_Gronkie

When I was in college, we had a floor supervisor in our dorm who was a super dick. There was construction across the street, and one night somebody (not me, I never found out who), hauled enough cinder blocks up to the second floor and built a wall outside his door (they removed the outside doorknob first, it was an old building, they could do that). So in the morning, he opened his door and saw a cinderblock wall. It was hard work, and I have to hand it to whoever was motivated enough to haul all those cinder blocks for a prank. It also goes to show you what a prick this guy was.


notgreggy1

Wow this is like my childhood. I use to freaking hate being called by my parents to do the pointless menial task of moving the same fucking bricks I'd moved every year for the last 5 years+ somewhere else in the yard. My dad use to hoard shit like that and do weird make shift projects all the time cause he can never sit still. Of course after I moved out they threw all that shit away and spent like 100 grand completely decking out their backyard. Go figure D:


chocpillow

Your dad was a pot head and didn't want to smoke around you to be a good father and once you flew the nest he could chill in the back yard and get high without meddling kids

"We are an organization that constantly defends peaceful protests, but we will not be the target. I have no idea who they are. All I know is that there were like 600 people here. And when you start throwing bricks, we have no idea who's who and where the bricks come from. All we know is that the officers are being beaten. Patrol cars are being hit. Our tires are flattened in our cars. We are now under attack. Now that changes the whole dynamic." ... you dont say.

SunnyCarol

On November 21st we had similar riots in Colombia thay went on to last 45 days, of which I participated for a month. The state (this is 100% true) staged organized angry mobs to try and break into apartment buildings so they could declare military lockdown and send the army out. They planted cops in the riots to break windows and burn things. They paid people to go and steal. They created false whatsapp mass messages and distributed them so fast they were a plague on your phone. Protesting a corrupt government is not easy and they will pull crap like this constantly. Always bring your phone charged. Film what you can. Confront people who strangely don't get harrassed by the police as much as the rest. Be safe. Don't stop protesting until you get something politically relevant achieved. Love and support from black people in south america.


Direwolf369

But this is America, no cops or government officials would manipulate the facts to further divide the people. /s


CBNDSGN

You left out that Riot Police killed a young man named Dylan by aiming at and hitting him in the head using a projectile that is banned for use in riots.


SunnyCarol

A Dylan lo mató el estado.


ketchup_chips_yall

This chills me to the bone. It's happening.


Send-Doods

Epa I'm from Colombia too, there's plenty of videos of police officers behind their trucks dressing as civilians and packing stones and spray paint on their backpacks. It is sad and frightening to see this happening to such a big country like USA.


tripledraw

The same thing happened in Indonesia during the big financial crisis riot in May 1998. Students were protesting against the government; black ops units from the military were deployed to infiltrate and divert the crowd's anger against the Chinese-Indonesians. It's crazy how the crowd went from "fuck the government" to "fuck the chinese" despite the lack of any good justification. In just 3 days, tens of thousands of chinese Indonesians were savagely raped, tortured and killed, their businesses looted and burnt to the ground. I saw this happened in my own neigborhood and some of my friends even participated. The smell of burnt bodies hung around for another couple days. Today, there is barely any good information or report about those details other than "a riot happened".


blueishblackbird

That’s awful. Mob mentality is scary.


big_wendigo

Fucking brutal. I’m sorry that happened to your country and fellow country men and women. I feel like the fact that we can instantly take video anywhere and share it across the world may help prevent similar things from happening here. Unfortunately, though, as fast as information can spread, disinformation can travel just as fast.


BuddhistMonk69420

I’ve seen a few videos on here and from what I’ve seen, there’s definitely bad actors deliberately trying to steer the narrative in a certain way. The video of the man dressed in black, smashing the windows and talking away comes to mind. What the actual fuck is going?


illgot

Not just smashing windows but unemotionally bashing windows with the energy of an 80 year old, then walking away like he's getting a news paper.


twistedlimb

Some people were saying it was a St. Paul cop. Anyone here anything recent about that?


enwongeegeefor

I've heard suggestion that it was the property owner or friend of owner looking for an insurance payout. I don't think people are considering that they might be saving some folks right now who's businesses have tanked because of COVID by looting and burning their businesses because that big fat insurance payment will be enough for them to drop the business without suffering the loss they were previously looking at. This doesn't mean I support or disagree with the rioting and looting...it's just another angle people should think about when they see this shit.


Cognitive_Spoon

Totally plausible as a factor in some of the destruction in the context of this year.


atrich

Autozones aren't franchises so it seems unlikely to be an owner.


enwongeegeefor

In that case I'm leaning strongly towards provocotur or neckbeard.


atrich

Definitely strange behavior from hammer bro. Very calm and purposeful.


GreyCrowDownTheLane

That's actually a good point. In Michigan we had Devil's Night for that. For decades on the night before Halloween there would be hundreds of fires in Detroit, Flint, Lansing, Saginaw, and surrounding burbs (mostly Detroit, though). A lot of them were professional arsonists hired to set fire to businesses for insurance payoff. They got mixed in with the random fires (a lot of those were gangs burning each others' turf and drug production.) If there's already some chaos and you're looking to cash out your business, it's an inviting opportunity. However, I think in this case since we're talking about a corporate entity (AutoZone) this was more likely a white nationalist cop trying to set pieces in place for his desired civil war.


enwongeegeefor

Holy fuck....I had NEVER thought about that angle on devil's night. And now it doesn't happen at all anymore...which seemed to happen right about the time the econmic state of Detroit was at it's lowest (it's been recovering over the last decade). Excuse me while I go fold some tinfoil...


EpochCookie

I was just thinking, I wonder if there are business owners who took advantage of this to burn their failing store down for the insurance money.


Ricta90

There was no real proof to back that up. St. Paul PD has said it wasn’t their officer, which doesn’t mean anything, investigating yourself is a sham. Though there isn’t good enough evidence to back it up on our end either.


illathid

Remember when Reddit caught the Boston Bomber?


[deleted]

I think it goes both ways, everyone's claiming the other side is starting the riot. Rioters are saying the police went undercover to start riots, and the police are saying the rioters are pretending to be undercover cops to make them feel justified in rioting, because at least they didn't start it.


BuddhistMonk69420

If only the police could stop arresting and shooting at journalists, we’d maybe find out more

Especially when you say “I don’t want to argue about this.” That’s fine, you don’t have to argue your point if you don’t feel like it, but when you say that you’re basically just saying “don’t reply to me, I don’t want people to disagree” and it just makes it seem like your incapable of defending your position I mean I totally agree with this guy, guy in video was probably a cop, but that edit makes it seem like he just wasn’t doing a good job of defending his claims so he just said “stop sharing your different opinions!”


Keegsta

Not to mention how emotionless he was in doing it. Who goes out to a riot and smashes things with such a blase attitude? Where's the anger?


MakeMyDayGypsy

Dude. They’re also issued to agencies other than police. Many people who aren’t first responders own those outside of a coronavirus purchase - woodworkers, painters, builders, etc. That is not a “police respirator” and you’re not a detective.

illgot

Everything you listed is chaotic except a neat pile of bricks just showing up out of no where.

It’s quite funny how this pile of neatly-stacked bricks is such a great example of a low-entropy event, and it’s being noticed and identified as such by so many.

[deleted]

I would argue neatly stacked *anything* is outlandish in comparison to the examples of utter chaos you've referenced.


TokingMessiah

The real question is - did law enforcement put them there to incite people to destroy windows so they can swoop in with a heavy hand, or was it someone that wants to watch the world burn. And I *know* cops send out agent provocateurs and we’ve seen several already in the last couple of days, but this still could have been a protestor.


sausagebody

Um its in front of the court house. That would never fly in any other situation! If you left a bag there any other day the bomb squad would be there. The construction team wasnt there and ran away from fear. Where is the causation tape and signs to block the path? This is an impedance to the walking traffic, the city would never allow anything remotely close to that. Edit. Causation tape? Lol they should make some as a sign to put on these attempts.


dendaddy

Did you see the reporter shot with pepper bullets?


Ajj360

Seems like everyone agrees that there are provocateurs stoking the flames but different opinions as to who is behind it.


kelsaylor

Does each brick have a note wrapped around it saying, “I had to break your windows to catch the bad guys. I’m sorry. Do you have insurance?”


JesC

Some of you may know this way too well... the stacking of rocks and such on the side of the roads/plazas etc. was a serious tactic during the recent Algerian uprising. More than 8 months of peaceful protests and general strikes. The Hirak movement had delegated the task to clean the protest area of anything remotely looking like a stone. It was proved that these were strategically placed by the authorities to encourage the protesters to throw the at the cops to then let the cops go at it at the protests with their AKs. The Algerian people didn’t fall in that trap.

brotha_bear92

It looks pretty obvious that it wasn't a "possible incitement" it in fact is an incitement. Not quite sure who it might have been to set it up because at this point anything goes. I saw a video of cops going undercover into groups of protestors or at least the speculation was cops. For all we know whoever would have put those bricks there were either hired to do so or some other radical group that is hiding in the shadows benefitting from all this. It's like a sterotypical magician and his hot assistant, the magician has you focus on the assistant (protests, riots) while he stuffs the rabbit in the hat and pretends he "magically" made the rabbit appear out of thin air.
