National Night Out (coming up this August 1) is definitely a police event, though rarely presented as one.

It is one of the shames of #Minneapolis that this copaganda event is allegedly better attended here than anywhere else.

The "block captain" is likely the host this (the police used to advertise "a free street permit for your National Night Out party" when recruiting "block leaders", in addition to "priority seating at our Citizens Academy and Rental Property Workshops" 🤮 ).

Open Streets events meanwhile have a disgustingly heavy police presence, but what is the tie in with block captains?

In short #NationalNightOut is community #infiltration by #police AND there should not be #cops at #OpenStreets any more than at pride, but https://www.openstreetsmpls.org is not in itself a police-organized nor block captain organized event, right?
