Boogaloo gunman allegedly kills two law enforcement officers

Trump attacks Antifa but it’s the right wing extremists that apparently have killed people.

Facts are stubborn things, and apparently irrelevant to Bill Barr:
Accused Killer Of California Cops Was Associated With Right-Wing 'Boogaloo Movement' https://t.co/iSbeX7Va32

US attorney announces the gunman who allegedly killed two law enforcement officers in California was associated with the right-wing Boogaloo movement. A patch bearing the group’s symbol was found in the van used by the shooter in Oakland and Santa Cruz killings

If true, this indicates the Boogaloos are a bigger threat than Antifa. Where's the Trump speech on this? https://t.co/dmgne2Zp70

Hi Charlie! It turns out Patrick Underwood was killed by two far-right men from the Boogaloo group who used the protests as cover for their violence against police. One of the men was a former Air Force sergeant. I'm looking forward to your correction! https://t.co/Wnuh87JyBy https://t.co/sh41EAxvT4

Tear gas used on protesters in 98 US cities

This will also make them more vulnerable to getting the coronavirus at the protests.

Law enforcement agencies are using tear gas against people protesting police brutality and racism at levels not seen since periods of unrest in the 1960s and 70s, experts say.

We examined how and where it was used. This is what we found. https://t.co/v2wehPbaFJ

Spikes in coronavirus stats

People are bored with the virus but it’s not over or anywhere close!

Would like to read more on if there's a relationship between where COVID is spreading and people being indoors more because it's too hot out. Here are searches for "air conditioning", for instance. Note that AZ (very high COVID growth now) tops the list. https://t.co/EJFrdimrJX pic.twitter.com/AVImYydjXJ

We don't know the impact mass outdoor demonstrations will have on the spread. But there will be a concerted effort in some corners to act as though things were going well or were on the right track before the protests began. According to the early numbers, that's not true.

Florida.

FL got a lot of praise for how it handled nursing home cases (very well).

Florida pushed opening amid sneering from people who didn't understand its case spread.
