We start the program with a thrown water bottle and a polite police announcement asking people not to do crimes, please

The far-right protesters bravely mace a woman directly in the face (I should mention this whole thread is in chronological order: this is the first macing of the day)

An exchange of smoke bombs. Far Right throws first, then anti-fascisfs return the favor

Alan Swinney shoots at people, people don't like it. A spicy fight breaks out: mostly the far right macing everything and everyone

Here's the thing I thought was a gunshot. I heard a bang in the distance and then someone fell down Thankfully, it was NOT a gunshot. But this person was still very much hurt by whatever happened Notice how Swinney fires at the people attempting to render medical aidpic.twitter.com/PkMrt0CqmZ

that person didn't just fall down, an explosive got behind their shield and grievously injured their unprotected arm. there's footage from an angle behind that person.https://twitter.com/GriffinMalone6/status/1297264676154179584 …
