My other footage of arrests has a ton of faces so it's gonna have to wait until tomorrow but holy shit. Just grabbing unresisting protesters and pulling them to the vans I'm sure the arrest numbers will look very impressive in tomorrow's papers

Currently the protest is standing in the intersection of 17th and Burnside. Cops circling. Trying to figure out which way they're coming Someone is playing Les Miz and I don't hate it

Something occurred to me as the cops kept yelling "You! Not press! Going to jail!" Sure seems like a good way to get people who aren't press to dress up as press Seems like a great way to advance the fake press narrative. But what do I know?

You really shouldn't trust my takes though. After all, this is Twitter And as @ChiefCLovell reminded everyone today, a lot of people on Twitter are just jumping to conclusions in their basements (Convenient how that leaves only the police as a trustworthy source)

A riot van loaded with cops departs the MSCO and drives East, away from the protesters That's all I know. I assume they're forming a riot line somewhere

DJ LRAD makes an abrupt return. Reminds everyone that this is an unlawful assembly due to "criminal activity" like blocking the street. The usual threat of tear gas Sigh We're probably about to get pushed
