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

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

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
