1032:"After having rocks and other objects thrown at them, police fired used tear gas, flashbangs, and rubber bullets into the crowd, scattering demonstrators." Includes two citations. One source says "Law enforcement begin to use tear gas and flash bangs in an effort to disperse the crowd." This is based on on-the-scene reporting by a journalist and includes no mention of anything being thrown at law enforcement. The closest either citation comes to supporting the claim is in the second source, which quotes Minnesota Department of Public Safety Commissioner John Harrington as saying there were reports of "rocks and other things" being thrown. It also mentions a tweet by a law-enforcement run Twitter account as claiming protesters were "launching bottles, fireworks, bricks, and other projectiles" at law enforcement, but no evidence is given.

dropped or cited in the wrong place in the paragraph. I suggest either making the edit to align to the source or being specific about exactly which sentences issues you feel need to be a addressed. The act of flagging an article doesn't help improve it, especially if there isn't a specific set of issues to address. So, if you can be as specific about each issue as possible, that would helpful. Also, if there is a theme that doesn't fit a specific day of protests, such as many the attacks on press, perhaps there should be a subsection under "Response" for "Attacks on press" with more context about it from sources. If you feel there are important sources that should be considered or weighed differently, it would be helpful to know your thoughts. Looking forward to continued collaboration. Kind regards,

1029:"Police fired tear gas into the crowd and a non-lethal round at a demonstrator who held a chunk of concrete." Specifically the claim that the demonstrator shot by police was holding a chunk of concrete is not supported by the citation. Rather, the cited news article cites a tweet that cites a video that cannot be viewed because of user settings.

Charged language. For example, the article says nearby residents were "caught in the crossfire between demonstrators and law enforcement authorities" which implies the protestors share responsibility for how law enforcement chose to deploy crowd control weapons and tactics, which is a specious claim
