Protesters are blocking cars from leaving the parking lot so the police started turning them around to do the other direction but that didn’t really work #TrumpMinneapolis pic.twitter.com/XWQHPRXi9D

Not sure? Trump supporters are still in the rally. I think we can all take a real good educated guess here. https://t.co/AOdSZOR6jR

Man wearing a “Trump 2020” hat is assaulted by a mob outside the Mineapolis Trump rally last night. Video journalist @ElijahSchaffer says this was happening routinely. If you wore a Trump hat or patriotic clothing, you were targeted. #antifa pic.twitter.com/aPJnSJMXz1

Walked a lady to her car who was hit in the head by a stick, then everyone started running. The gas is out. Made it to my car. I’m good.??

I interview a lot of the President’s supporters at rallies & have never seen this before. (My reaction gives that away quickly) https://t.co/UmcsbB3w1A

From MPS Chief Arradondo – “Objects containing liquid believed to be urine were hurled at some of my officers along with bottles and rocks. Police horses were also assaulted by protesters striking them with sticks.”

In the Minneapolis streets outside Trump’s rally there was a rather tense stand-off between police officers and protesters chanting: “Whose streets? Our streets.” There was also briefly a chant of, “Kill a cop, save a life.”

After the @realDonaldTrump rally in Minneapolis, his supporters were attacked by left-wing extremists. An unprovoked assault on a woman was caught on camera by @AlphaNewsMN.
