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

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

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

Chilling across the street from ICE If you look at my tweet threads you know I'm upfront about when hijinks and shenanigans are occurring So trust me when I say this is just a few people relaxing outside the ICE building Let's see what the feds do with this
