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

The guillotine creators have retrieved it from the front, which is good because this is way too cool to get trashed by the copspic.twitter.com/p5A2TvXEvW

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

This is a long video for Twitter but it's a very short time to be told to move ahead rapidly and them be told to get the fuck backpic.twitter.com/sPys50OoHA

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

Same logjam incident: NLG knocked down My footage is the worst because close quarters and also shovingpic.twitter.com/GgmCc8EUvS

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

A friendly protester gives me my very own Riot Pokemon, plus a police glowstick "You can just have it of you want. Why do you always want to just take pictures? Take it!" I actually don't have a tear gas canister yet somehow so this is very excitingpic.twitter.com/8kETc2pT8b
