That car I posted about earlier driving erratically kept doing it for a while. No sign of it now
@45thabsurdist points out that the car ran multiple red lights and drove recklessly in front of ridiculous amounts of cops, yet no action taken It's hard to ignore the patternShow this thread -

"I want to be a storm trooper for Donald Trump! I want to be an authoritarian fuck!" "Which one of you organized the rally on Saturday? Who cut the shields for QAnon?" "Raise your hand if you're in the Klan!" Chant: "it's a revolution, not a riot!"

Press swarms him. A protester yells that he almost ran them over and should be in jail DJ LRAD tells press and legal observers that they appreciate us but to stop interfering with their work and to leave the roadway I feel very appreciated

Everyone just chilling in front of the PPA now Normally this is when I'd head out but the way last night went--20+ arrests after 1AM--I'm nervous to leave

DJ LRAD is back to remind us that Lombard is open to vehicular traffic. Tear gas threatened No word on whether this is still a riot

Struggling to put my gas mask back on as someone offers doughnuts to protesters It's a good mask. I can tell because I haven't been incapacitated by tear gas and also because it feels like it's slowly squeezing my brains out my ears

....and then they get back on their riot vans and leave Very chaotic energy tonight

Out of nowhere the cops arrive, disassemble the fence barricade on Lombard, and vanish again They're getting good at this sudden strike thing. Keeps one a bit off balancepic.twitter.com/NDzGh7Fx3G

The protest is winding down. Lots of people going home. I'm tempted to do the same...but I remember what happened last night. How all the arrests were after one, after lots of people had left, when the crowd was small and easy to subdue

Falling asleep leaned up on a post in my body armor and helmet, absolutely sure I'm gonna wake up 10 years ago at some field training exercise in Fort Polk or something and be baffled at this strange dream I just had

There are maybe 15 people left. I think it's over I think we won tonight? I'm heading home Solidarity to the people still out here (and please get some sleep soon!)

Some footage I didn't realize I had until this morning: A police officer uses his can of mace to bludgeon a protester several times before spraying mace at the retreating crowd I have been told these blows broke the protester's wrist
