I regret to inform you that I saw a very weak green laser briefly shine over the police line A moment of silence for our boys in blue

The protest has become water again Another police line waits a few blocks behind them. This is definitely not a first amendment violation at all They turn back into the neighborhoodspic.twitter.com/BWP2HWizv2

"All right, are we together? Are we tight? Anyone in these houses want to come out and see what the PPB does to us every fucking night?" "No takers?" "That's all right. We'll fight for you anyway" This activist is incredible

As soon as I get out of my car I hear DJ LRAD announcing that Kelly Penumbra MSCO building is closed That's right. The protest fucking drove here. Block the bridges all you want, life finds a way

The protest is almost exactly as large as it was in the park DJ LRAD calling out people by outfit and telling them to stop trespassing I see a lot of cop lights but no cops. My guess is they don't have a lot of cops here. My guess is they're still blocking bridges

This is a video of nothing No one is throwing anything No one is trespassing any longer Just cops blinding us all with lights They could just, you know...let people chant outside their building It's an option they havepic.twitter.com/OSpwZpfaaN

I did in fact walk on MSCO property to get this shot DJ LRAD specifically says press not allowed on MSCO property Pretty sure that's taxpayer property, also I was not interfering with police activity by taking a picture for 30 seconds. I think the TRO has me covered here

We have another LRAD warning about throwing projectiles I do see about 4 water bottles on the ground about 50 feet from the cop cars so this might be technically correct DJ LRAD advises everyone to leave for their own safetypic.twitter.com/AELs7Ors56

We do now have a protester firing paintball rounds onto the property

And we have an unlawful assembly declaration. Paintballs explicitly mentioned
@dontatmefascist had pointed out that precedent from earlier today indicates that paintballs are NOT a reason to declare an unlawful assembly so it's super weird that it's suddenly a problem nowShow this thread -
DJ LRAD tells everyone to leave to the West and honestly I'm wondering if they have the numbers or the energy to make that happen Guess we'll find out

LRAD from the other end of the MSCO provides the same announcement Are they preparing to charge from over there or trying to make it seem like there's more of them then there are?

Kafka himself would be baffled and horrified by this push They push one direction than another. Tell us to get back, then shove us for not moving fast enough

Ordered to move in the opposite direction everyone had been ordered to move mere moments before. The resulting confusion led to a wall of bodies and a lot of fun opportunities to brutalize protesters in the darkpic.twitter.com/LR5rFTw2Cb

Literally no idea what they want from me here, there's a solid mass of people to my back in this video. Eventually they move me aside by my backpack I rarely get shoved, even when everyone around me is getting fucked up. Is it the vest? My height? No complaintspic.twitter.com/WJT7zSINVa

I have more footage but back in the present, the protest has returned to the MSCO and DJ LRAD is reminding everyone this is still a riot Really doesn't feel like a riot Tear gas threats Respirator time

A couple cops did try to abide by the TRO. There's another instance where they escorted us through the line It's just very difficult to know what you're gonna get at any given momentpic.twitter.com/ZpFyk1IDky
