Sua Sponte: The Minneapolis ADOZ

A singular act of defiance can change the course of a life.

Army Rangers. Militant protesters. An occupied zone in a city. What could go wrong?

Emmit “Chicago” Haskins is lost and directionless following his discharge from the 75th Ranger Regiment. While he is staying with his sister in Minneapolis, she suggests that he invite some of his guys over to the house for a barbecue. They could never know what political firestorm awaits them when they arrive.

The Minneapolis police changed to become more community-focused following George Floyd’s death. After an ambush that leads police to accidentally shoot innocent bystanders, Landon Tayson and his dedicated group of “reformers” set up an occupied zone that the mayor refuses to dismantle in the city’s Arts District. Most people pass it off as a response to police actions, but is there something more sinister afoot?
