A white car speeds through the crowd. No injuries DJ LRAD commands protesters to move out of their road for their own safety. "Vehicles may not stop for you. This endangers your own lives" Sure sounds like a threat to me

The threat is not having it's intended effect. The crowd advances forward, still keeping its distance, very much occupying the road Chant: "We Outnumber You!"

Followed by my least favorite chant: "Show me what democracy looks like!" "This is what democracy looks like" But before I can even begin my customary rant someone corrects it: "Show me what a police state looks like! "This is what a police state looks like!" Yespic.twitter.com/7ws4ibKAI4

Editorial comment here The protest is doing what it's done for 99 days. It's standing in front of the police, waiting for them to do something For the last 1.5 weeks, "something" has been mass arrests It might be time to try something else

The Black activist on the megaphone says: "Unless we stand up, they're gonna keep killing us in the streets. That's why we're out here tonight! "If these cops think we're gonna give up, they have another thing coming! We're going to be here every day! Every day! Every day!"

The crowd parts to allow an enormous truck through. He honks his support Like most protests, this one moves to let vehicles through. The "blocking traffic" charge is as false tonight as it usually is https://twitter.com/1misanthrophile/status/1302119765310275584/video/1 …pic.twitter.com/xplgxFSeIC
