And now the gates are closed. A brief LRAD sonic siren noise. Then a too-quiet LRAD announcement Is someone button mashing? What is going on?

This is why you don't move when the cops tell you to move if you're big enough to look them in the eye Because you'll get yet more proof of cops punching restrained peoplepic.twitter.com/bsacmRI4kE

Beginning of the push: Cops charge forward to make that arrest with the punching from earlier. I get shoved and skid along the asphalt. My camera turns off so you can't hear the door scream at me to get up which, dude, if you want me to get up don't fucking push me maybepic.twitter.com/Zu1qkTRQUT

A very surreal moment in which me and a couple other journalists follow the codpiece boys, who continue to fire gas and smoke at nothing Despite their armored balls they are terrified. Or maybe they just like the pretty colors. Who knowspic.twitter.com/SXL9PEdRTy
