@45thabsurdist observes that the LRAD telling us to disperse North seems, in fact, to be North of us
Not a great sign. Impossible orders proceed the worst violence
Regardless, the crowd is certainly not going to disperse until made to All attacks on the precinct building have stopped. Protesters chant: "no good cops in a racist system!" A protester strums a guitar. Someone puts on funk music
Will this contained trash fire burn the brick precinct down somehow? I'm guessing Ted Wheeler will say yes tomorrowpic.twitter.com/94mX06n0UL
This trash fire is one of the finest examples of trolling I've seen off the internet
Probably 250 people here now. Keep in mind I'm very bad at estimating crowd size. Bigger than yesterday for sure The trash fire still hasn't burned the precinct building down
LRAD reminds us that it's still an unlawful assembly. Tells us to move to the North Cops still staging North of us East Precinct building still not on fire
"No Lives Matter Unless Black Lives Matter!" Someone does a graffiti East Precinct still not on firepic.twitter.com/u0AN0u2duM
Will I ever be able to satisfactorily listen to The Coup again without playing an LRAD over it for flavor? The trash fire has gone out. East Precinct remains not on fire
A guy with a large media camera followed by a dude with an American Flag mask There is some concern "He's my security guard," large camera guy says. They don't seem to be causing trouble People decide to leave them alone East precinct still not on fire

Sure enough they come up from the south Here we go
Cops drive protesters through the pitch black park. Impossible to take video
Driven to Ventura Park. They yelled at the press to 'not interfere with the line' and then sprinted. Only a few manages to keep up. I caught up but not in time to film the violence I saw from a distance, which I'm sure was the idea
The cops pile on riot vans and drive away Protesters cheer and begin, slowly, to follow
Tear gas fired. Hardly the worst gassing we've endured. No one breaks The road, as PPB is so fond of saying, is still open to traffic. Cars drive through the toxic clouds
The line stands for a while. Screams for everyone to get the fuck out the street. I brace myself fora bullrush Stupid in retrospect--not enough of them for that. They sprint to their riot van and jet down the road
I was scared about tonight. Still am. But so far it feels like any other night. Not significantly worse than last night. Better in some ways The night is young of course
The protest begins to move back down Stark, slowly and together "How do you spell Nazi? PPB!"
"I fuckin love you!" Someone yells at us from their house. Cheers Not that it's a total lovefest out here. I heard a couple white guys on a street corner talk about "backing the blue" while I was sprinting by earlier
Back at that Nazis house from. Last night A protester breaks her window. No sign of life in there "Let's go!" someone yells. Seems like a good planpic.twitter.com/beAeFm3hqY
People sticking around. Mostly press. I am suddenly extremely conscious of my own motivations for being here and decide to rejoin the rest of the protest
Protesters stopped at 108th and Washington, grooving to "Lockdown" by Anderson Paak (thank you Shazam). A few protesters jam to the sultry beat "Shields up! Stay prepared and be ready! Should we move or should we stay? "
This is a profoundly weird place to stop. Fork in the road, already kind of confusing traffic-wise. It's a dark night and everyone's in black Seems like we're staying here anyway for now
As soon as I sent tweet they arrived and bullrushed the fuck out of us. All-out sprint trying to film They pushed us to 102nd and Pine Here they come again
A small group of police appear to be semi-surrounded It's a weird situation An officer tells us to back up off the street (and stop filming) so we don't get run over by the truck coming to extract them. "It's fucking common sense" Thank you for your professionalism OSP
The police beat a hasty retraat and the protesters are left at this weird-ass intersection, unsure of what to do
We're pretty scattered
@45thabsurdist tells me a group got shoved up Pine street
Rumors of a group currently being pushed up Stark. Not sure that's true
We start to try to regroup
Getting reports from protesters as we go My protest buddy was shoved to the ground while crossing the street as instructed Another protester describes being shoved to the ground, then picked up by her pack. "Get home safe, miss!" the cop said to her
