And DJ LRAD has entered the scene. Inaudible over the chanting and booing Hijinks have occured at this building on previous nights, and I've told you about them Tonight? Nothing but chanting so far

Just chatted with @PDocumentarians, who has just broken the pope bomb story along with @suzettesmith in @wweek! I'm so glad this story is finally getting into the newshttps://twitter.com/PDocumentarians/status/1292672302069329921?s=19 …

The LRAD seems to be telling people not to commit crimes or else Some dumpsters in the road

Unlawful assembly declared That was fast

Coming up Lombard fast

Bullrushed several blocks. Riot declared. Words have no meaning

We've been pushed to Kenton Park. Flash bang shrapnal has struck my pinky finger. Blood blister, no big deal Yesterday I said I'd cut off my own pinky for better cell data and hopefully this is God's way of taking me up on it Police halted on Kilpatrick and Brandon

People calling for mask on, leaf blowers to the front. I assume that means the police are putting theirs on I'm staying towards the back as part of my new strategy to not get cut off from the protest behind police lines while the cops brutalize everyone

The part at the end of that video is the cop forcibly stopping my phone from recording and trying to throw my phone on the ground. He told me I would go to jail if I didn't stop filming But he didn't arrest me. Because he fucking can't It's intimidation and I'm done with it

The group has been severely scattered. It was never big enough for this And that's the real reason it's been declared a riot: not because the crowd poses a danger, but because it doesn't. Because it's easy to bully

I really can't imagine this group forming back up. It was so small and it is so scattered I've been wrong before though

Just spoke to some residents who came out to see what was going on. We explained. They were flabbergasted about the barricade destruction. "Those have been up for weeks for businesses to operate outside. Did they forget about COVID?!" "Well, they don't wear masks, so probably"

Back at the PPA where there are maybe 20 people. Even the police can't be assed. They speed by. One of them does the shaka shake as he drives by. 3 or 4 police cars, none of them use their turn signal. If only there was some public safety organization we could call about that

20 or 30 protesters have decided to resume chanting "black lives matter" next to the PPA: an activity which the LRAD immediately reminds everyone constitutes a riot

I would like to reiterate that this riot constitutes people shouting "black lives matter" and clapping in time to the chant

Police strike suddenly and with great speed. Many arrests They chase protesters down a side street, then chase. Then back up again. A protester is led away in zip cuffs. "You can't expect me to follow conflicting orders!" he exclaims

Heavenly Donuts is now broadcasting an extremely good and informatively speech about Oregon's racist history and how that history mirrors the white supremacy of America as a whole This is incredible

Receiving word that an elderly resident of the Kenton neighborhood was shot in the leg with a paintball round while she tried to restore the legal, official neighborhood barriers that the cops tore down

Someone throws a glass bottle at the cops. They flag the whole crowd with their weapons. No shots fired. Things remain tense The Heavenly Donuts speaker (which is apparently a protest speaker there with permission) begins to play Amazing Grace

The police leave. A truly astounding number of cop cars and riot vans head out. Everyone here should be deeply honored at how much of a threat they consider you

We just heard the LRAD again. Maybe 20 people out here total
