At the Justice Center again! Giant crowd. Gonna live-tweet again, let's see what happens tonight!
No cops visible. The lights are off, like a house on Halloween that ran out of candy

Organizer warns us to be vigilant. States that we are not alone here and to watch out for those who are against us "I'm not leading a march tonight. We are staying right here. We aren't leaving tonight"

A movie is now projected on a white screen in front of the justice center: "FENCE WARS"

This is definitely a very different vibe. I feel like I say that every night but it's true every night also. The absence of police means there's no natural focal point, and I don't think I'm imagining the uncertainty of the crowd

The fact that the cops noe seem to grasp that they can cut down on trouble by....not being there...feels like progress in and of itself

It’s really strange, we had to walk a couple blocks down to bring our car up to the JC and there’s no cops hanging around the perimeter either as far as I saw. Lots of strange filmers tho.

Yeah that’s definitely it! Maybe it’s just that the antagonists are not as clearly marked as riot cops are? Someone else in the baracade mentioned under covers and K-9 units
