I'm sitting on the curb arguing with chuds in my mentions, surrounded by other protesters sitting and shooting the shit, when the riot van drives by They point like they're gonna do a targeted arrest but don't "Tighten up!" The group is back on their feet, no longer relaxedpic.twitter.com/kzDXsbTTKr

An activist addresses the crowd. Tells them about tactics in play in Seattle. Not only do they walk instead of run, they link arms and hold on tight "Let's try it now!" someone shouts They do. Protesters pretend to be cops. It's both effective and heartwarming

And just as they're wrapping it up the actual cops arrive They've conducted several arrests, though the tactic of holding onto each other seems to be working all right Footage incoming but this shit is still going on so...

A fight in the center of the crowd. It's a lot harder to push a crowd that's holding onto each other and that has decided not to move Looks to me like the cops manage to rear someone away but he manages to outrun them pic.twitter.com/RhOnryOovS

The cops have left Seattle tactics worked really well. Not perfectly, obviously, but I think everyone feels real good about the results An organizer announces that people are going to move to the Red House. "Remember, there are many kinds of direct action," they say

Before I close this thread our I just want to emphasize that I saw no reason for these arrests tonight Aside from two graffitis, no property damage occurred. The protest was 80% seated when they came by the first time, and practicing tactics when they came by the second timepic.twitter.com/EuEk0F8zNt

Also: many times this year I have felt like I'm in a movie, but never more than when the cops showed up at the very moment the protesters stopped practicing standing against the cops This is a movie and the writers are hacks
