A police officer without his helmet approaches the fence. A black man approaches from our side. They are talking

Pepper ball fired in the middle of the discussion. Crowd tenses. Multiple shouts of "Don't talk to cops"

Man who spoke to the cops tries to get people to move. "if you don't want to be shot, move a block up." Fury from the crowd. No one is having it

It's 1AM. There's a dance party across the river. The crowd is stripped to its bones and its bones are strong. No one here is afraid of anything. It's fucking incredible. This won't end well, but in a way, it's already ended well, because all of us are, in a critical way, free

THE COPS ARE WALKING AWAY FROM THEIR POSTS AT THE JC

We are at the front of the JC. No police in sight

We have linked arms. We are marching around the justice center. The cops have vanished

"this is about showing you a strength. This is about showing you that if we stick together, we can win!
