I’d say well over 100 people here now. And a constant stream of cars honking in support.pic.twitter.com/xrLE8jN00L

Tense few minutes here as a couple showed up with a “Black Voices Matter” sign and moved to the front of the group. Many crowded around them, screaming and chanting “comunistas.” Police led them away across the street, no one was hurt.pic.twitter.com/86Jm5Cvowq

Paola and Jeffrey Batic, who walked into the pro-Trump rally holding this sign. Jeffrey says someone poked him with an American flag and several men got in his face, but they’re okay. Now standing across the street.pic.twitter.com/fbpr2e9spQ

Protesters have been getting in the face of our photographer, Alexia Fodere. One was giving her the middle finger. Police told us to walk across the street because they won’t be able to protect us in the crowd.pic.twitter.com/lotkeLjkIs

One protester just yelled at me to “go back to Massachusetts” (she must have looked up my resume!) which is an insult I’ve never heard before.

This woman just tried to take a picture of my license plate and called me some obscenities. She said she’s a Miami Lakes police officer but declined to give her name.pic.twitter.com/TOvgyrJyFO

A couple Miami-Dade officers agreed to pose for photos with protesters. They told me they would do the same for anyone in the community, and said they also took photos with protesters at last weekend’s BLM rally.pic.twitter.com/Px4xiZhtqJ

I’ve reached out to Miami-Dade police to ask 1) whether officers are allowed to pose with political signs & 2) whether the woman in the video above is actually a police officer.

Rally organizer Maria Martinez addressed the protests over George Floyd’s death. She condemned the officers in Floyd’s case, but said that if you “stay out of trouble” and “don’t resist” you’ll be okay. She also decried the BLM movement’s support of LGBTQ people.pic.twitter.com/elw2eancgd

One speaker at today’s rally was attorney Michael Puchades, who calls himself “The Peoples’ Lawyer.” Leading up to last weekend’s BLM protest in Miami Lakes, he posted photos holding what looks like a gun and thinly-veiled threats if anyone comes into his “guarded community.”pic.twitter.com/z95LYsv1pj

One more note and then I’m actually logging off: After dropping by some Miami Lakes resident Facebook groups tonight — where there have already been hundreds of comments about today’s rally — one thing is very clear: Facebook and Twitter are wildly different places.
