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

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

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

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
