A black man attempted to discourage Antifa members from committing violence at the Brooklyn Center, Minnesota protest, according to a video posted April 14 by journalist Brendan Gutenschwager.
In the video, the man approached the protesters and shouted, “Hey! Hey! … Don’t you dare start this shit. Not here tonight! Not here tonight! Don’t you start this shit tonight!” (RELATED: ‘Get The F**k Out Of Here!’: Video Shows CNN Staffer Almost Knocked Clean Out At BLM Protest)

A non-visible Antifa protester behind an umbrella said, “We didn’t start it.”
The man said again, “Don’t you start this sh*t tonight!”
Someone else chimed in, “The one’s behind you are the ones that started this shit,” referring to the police officers who appeared in the background.
The man responds, “Hey! Hey! Not here tonight!”
A visible Antifa protester appeared and said, “There’s no such thing as fucking peaceful! There’s no such thing as fucking peaceful! … Fuck you!”
The video ended right as the man said, “Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Mother—!”
Protests and riots erupted Monday after Daunte Wright was shot and killed during an altercation with police. Officer Kim Potter and Police Chief Tim Gannon both resigned Tuesday.
