Huge bullrush back to the park. Lot of brutality. Teargas warning but I didn't need it I can small it through my mask. Too fucking fast for me to get any good footage, I hope others did

Look what I am about to say is probably unfair but if you're on the sidewalk because you can't go fast I get it just please get over to one side so press can sprint and grab footage of this shit they're doing and show the world what they're doing out here

Oh by the way, we've got a riot declaration Journalists have been ordered to "go inside" Yeah, that's a TRO violation

Police have retreated for now. Yackety Sax again as they go. I'll never get tired of that, seriously if that's you playing it you're my hero

Protesters are doing skateboard trucks over the flaming mattress, to which someone had added copies of "luxury homes" I don't need to explain the metaphor, surelypic.twitter.com/Ib1Jbp2pbi

Back at ICE. Time for Round III. Starting out like the other two: no visible fed or police presence, protesters approaching the building cautiously

Cops in the mist Sound on for the riot announcement, including the order that violates the TROpic.twitter.com/F09AmcIZfU

Shit is spicy. Protest driven as far back as Moody and Gibbs Air clears and I advance back to Moody and Curry where the police line remains Someone urges them to take a knee More voices denounce the demand. There have been enough knees taken, mostly on necks

The LRAD repeats the root alert and adds that protesters are not to throw projectiles at the cops Look is it a riot or isn't it? If you're asking people not to throw shit, then there's not enough chaos for a riot, surely
