The gentlemen next take issue with me encouraging violence somehow and also with calling them neo-nazis, which I have NEVER done We fight about the word chud Mr. "You fucking cunt" says he isn't far-right. I ask him to elaborate on his beliefs. He either can't or won'tpic.twitter.com/WiJO2KZCJI

The armed gentlemen say that I called Antifa on them (no). They conflate two weekends, get confused about time This is where things begin to go off the rails. I start reacting and begin to lose control of the conversation The rest of these videos are clinics on what NOT to dopic.twitter.com/jrtpunbmlJ

I ask about harassment of Juniper. They deny it, which tracks with the story I was told (they came when called but did not participate) They ask about my nationality, I tell them, then he gets to do a gotcha: he's also from the middle east. Look at how racist they aren'tpic.twitter.com/Fp6hz4qEIA

This is an old trick. When you respond to the dog whistle, they get to prove you wrong It's disorienting. A better response would be, why do you ask? "Why do you assume I think you're racist?" would have been a better response to the "I have non-white friends" bit

I also get heated and it results in a tactical error: I advance on one of them to demonstrate how Mr. "Fucking cunt" over there advanced on me They, of course, take this as proof that I'm not intimidated We'll talk about that in a second, but it is a bad tactical choicepic.twitter.com/kWnRQnoZBn

A better choice, at this point, would have been to either go silent or leave. I got decent footage and I could feel myself getting angry If you go silent, they fill the space with words and sometimes those words are incredible If you leave, the party's over I did neither thing

I did at least ask about he magazine in the gentleman's weapon. He refused to give me a straight answer, unsurprisingly I should bring my own AR to a protest sometime with a magazine in and see if the police are as cavalier about it as they are with this guypic.twitter.com/wFJeNkw68g

Replying to @1misanthrophile
Are there city council members we can call to pressure police to check militants for legal compliance?
