Passing the area where I was arrested a couple of weeks ago.
The road curves and is at a slant.pic.twitter.com/oeeDeoD8fkShow this thread -
Arrived at the Southeast Precinct. By my count, 7 cops are blocking the driveway. Chant of "No good cops in a racist system."

Three other cops along the property line. I'm standing near ACLU observers and a few of my colleagues.

Rooftop cop. There's also a No Cops, No KKK, No Fascist USA chant, and a Quit Your Job chant.pic.twitter.com/aECREmrHyk

Someone's passing out toy bees, likely a reference to Trump's "beehive of terrorists" remark (did he forget how "basket of deplorables" worked?).

One of the roof cops shined his light on me and waved. I didn't wave back.

Chants include "Fuck you, roof cop!" and "Defund police, fund schools!"

I can't see any identifying markers on these cops. One has a generic "Police" one that he is partially blocking with his right hand.

First LRAD announcement warns protesters not to cross the SE Precinct property line or they could be subject to arrest for trespassing. The announcement comes again as I type. Protesters boo the voice they've come to call DJ LRAD.

"Fascist cops are going down / Not my neighbor, not my town" and "Who do you protect? / Who do you serve?" chants. Also these cop lights are BRIGHT.pic.twitter.com/I0TPEbu3ZU

There's an orange/copper projector that cop lights were shining on earlier. The cop in this photo appeared to be posing with the K9 sculpture earlier.pic.twitter.com/20z7w4cOpO

Despite no visible provocation, LRAD announces an unlawful gathering. Threats of arrest and force including crowd control munitions announced. Whole bunch of cops appear to be gearing up at the second driveway.

Cops came running out. We have shoved and marched to SE 41st & Oak. Saw multiple pushes to make arrests, and one flash bang.

Someone near me is being treated for cop mace. I think cops are leaving this area. Press and medics are far easier to identify here than cops.pic.twitter.com/ahBdbegXdp

Earlier, as cops advanced, a red station wagon - looking car nearly ran over protesters, curving south on SE 47th St back on E Burnside. Hard to tell if she was mad or really desperate to avoid cops.

I saw cops get on the sidewalk behind protesters. I couldn't tell if they shoved anyone. Definitely saw them do it in the streets.

Chants of "wake up, wake up / wake up motherfucker wake up" and "get off your couch / we're in a police state" as we pass a residential stretch.

Cops were waiting on a north residential stretch. Had to turn around quickly. A female cop grabbed my arm, I yelled press and she let go. At one point I was full running. We are in residential, underlit areas with cracked roads.

The remaining crowd, which is smaller and more well behaved than Timbers Army crowds from when I lived near the stadium. They just parted to let a TriMet bus pass.pic.twitter.com/SZRAQIBzPc

The crowd has decided they're too small to stand ground against two vans of riot cops. They don't intend to go back to the Southeast Precinct and are deciding the next steps.
