      Speeches are being delivered to a small crowd. Only a hundred or so people, tops, in both parks. The person on the megaphone started his speech by complaining about black bloc types who provoke police. Then he suggested that wearing BLM t shirts at work is a better protest.pic.twitter.com/4Q9RlqF1cE

      A few more folks out. The man on the bullhorn tells us that getting rid of police is impossible, but that maybe we can get them to be charged with the same crimes as protesters. On a better note, the Grill Percussion Squad is back.pic.twitter.com/aSxJSnPUJ5

      The crowd continues to fill up the square. There might be as many as 400 folks here now. A decent bit of noise is now going opposite to the bullhorn speeches, which seem to be continuing on into eternity.pic.twitter.com/mDZTE5CGkG

      The fence around the courthouse has been heavily reinforced, as you can see here. As I film this, a small group walks past me and a young woman squeals with glee: "Oh boy, it's just like old times!"pic.twitter.com/6SZh2nQUsB

          Back around the rear of the Justice Center, we see several Police Bureau employees show up for shift change. A crowd forms to heckle them and tell them to quit their jobs. They are unable to get in for some reason, and they flee.pic.twitter.com/Qnh13r9hmk

          The first fire of the night has been lit inside the justice center courtyard. An LRAD warbles in the distance, but it is completely incomprehensible.pic.twitter.com/LGf8I9G7bK

          The Wall of Moms moves into position. One correction: what I thought was an LRAD earlier was a set of speakers from the protesters. So law enforcement, federal and local, have actually not addressed this crowd at all to my knowledge.pic.twitter.com/QlZn75Ncmf
