Details currently sketchy but from what I’m seeing online, a crowd is forming in Southeast DC at the scene of a police shooting. I’m on my way there.https://twitter.com/DMVBlackLives/status/1301260973383311367 …

Most people left the shooting scene, but they’re calling for a protest at the District 7 DC police station at 9pm. That’s just one hour from now, about three miles from the shooting scene. Police still blocking off roads about two blocks in each direction from the shooting scenepic.twitter.com/ed4F35LpOy

Protesters are slowly fizzling out from D7 police station, but they’re heading to Mayor Bowser’s house. Minimal violence when protesters first confronted police, but otherwise tonight has been peaceful so far. I’ll be livestreaming when I arrive at Mayor’s house.https://twitter.com/FordFischer/status/1301321961297960961 …

I’m at Bowser’s House now with two other journalists. A few activists here but they’re not protesting yet. Not gonna post photos / livestream until or unless it escalates. Several cops in unmarked cops posted in front of the house.

I meant to write “Cops in unmarked cars” not “cops in unmarked cops.” To my knowledge, the cops aren’t inside eachother. I regret the error.https://twitter.com/FordFischer/status/1301373863562022919 …

There’s about ten activists here, but no chanting etc yet. Like I said, not filming until it turns into a protest, not going to film people hanging out. More are supposedly on the way, but it’s a half hour between where the shooting happened/original protest and mayor’s house.pic.twitter.com/XEkSINfnX9

In spite of the action etc of the protest earlier, very important development was ANC Commissioner Paul Trantham (to those who don’t know - this is a local elected official) told me bodycamera footage will be released TOMORROW of the shooting.https://www.pscp.tv/w/ch8ZODFETEtCQW94cVdxUUp8MU1ZeE5WcHJvcW94d3sIN8azZVqfULbOhnfXIyUhGaz0CMKlhzcq2uP-8L8-?t=1h14m52s …

About 20 protesters spent an hour outside Mayor Bowser’s house. Police say she refused to have “guests” so people couldn’t go on her property; protesters responded by knocking on neighbor’s doors instead.https://twitter.com/FordFischer/status/1301384224876843014 …

The protesters left in a hurry after greater police presence came. As they were walking away, an arrest van arrived. I believe everyone left without arrests.pic.twitter.com/iuNXaveiew

I'm home and have imported my HD footage, but it's 4 in the morning. I need to get some sleep before editing and publishing in more detail throughout tomorrow. In the meantime, thanks to everyone who supports me, especially those of you at:http://Patreon.com/fordfischer
