      I've walked with the march all evening but I'm now on my scooter ahead of the crowd headed to the downtown police station. No cops on Classen but I can see police monitoring from side streets. There is a parade like atmosphere with people parked along Classen to cheer the March.

      I'm at the downtown police station. Crowd is several blocks away. The station is surrounded by patrol cars not letting anyone close.

      It's unsettling here. Police are in riot gear and holding gas masks. They are waiting for this crowd.

          More tear gas shot and crowd is leaving. I'm also having to leave as I can't really see. This stuff is like fire on my face.

          More tear gas is being shot. I haven't seen the crowd approach the officers. The tear gas containers are actually breaking windows of a building across the street.

          For the past hour the police have shot tear gas, the crowd retreats and then returns to about 50 feet from the line of officers. This has repeated several times. I have not seen any arrests.

          The officer on the Speaker keeps says "You say you want peace but you have resorted to damaging property. Leave now." A few police vehicles have been damaged.

          Police fire the largest amount of tear gas yet. I got to go guys. Phone is dying and it's getting tougher to deal with this gas. I'll have stories in the morning about this rally and related policy issues.pic.twitter.com/f044DTfO1N
