Cops charge and conduct mass arrests--I'd estimate around 10. Drive protesters back with what seemed to me to be smoke and not gas Cops retreat to the PPA. Look at all of them (Arrest footage incoming)pic.twitter.com/IN2pGWgQ2W

As I uploaded that last, cops charged and arrested medics in a truck in the Chevron parking lot. Then they pushed press back so they couldn't video Then they arrested someone in the Heavenly Donuts parking lot and made a line all the way across the street so no one could film

They keep talking about "targeted arrests," which seems to mean "targeting whoever's easiest to catch." Getting reports that they're doing that thing again where they arrest everyone in an area who isn't press

There's an extremely small group of protesters and they're all heckling the cops "Cops don't know where Wyoming is!" "Cops use Netscape Navigator!" "Cops liked the Star Wars prequels!"

There's gotta be something illegal about that.
