Leading Report @LeadingReport on twitter says BREAKING: Some Minneapolis protesters are showing up with their babies as "shields" from law enforcement. And DHS's official account quotes it with "do not bring your baby to a violent riot"

Or ... or you'll ... shoot the babies?

Frozen Fascists tried to enter a Minneapolis McDonald’s kitchen without a judicial warrant. The security guard blocked their access while other staff called the owner.
