      Someone is hammering open the braces they just cut on the fence. The feds fire a barrage of pepper balls, which the crowd handles easily. Odd that the feds are staying inside. Perhaps they are scared of paint?pic.twitter.com/RljoKr7GCO

      What appears to be the laser sight of a rifle shines into the crowd. I cannot confirm which weapon had this but from what I could tell it did not appear to be firing into the crowd, so it may not have been impact munitions.pic.twitter.com/UqXjCSwT61

          The hell of retreat: federal munitions light a tent on fire, and a truck with a gas-blinded driver veers wildly through the park. The Portland Police Bureau warn us that they are about to add their tear gas to the federal gas. This is definitely not both groups working together.pic.twitter.com/gFFuRVawNk

          The crowd pulls back under heavy fire but in good order. I catch sight of my favorite thing ever, the true hero of this riot: the BLM DJ Truck. Perhaps the most Mad Max moment of this uprising so far.pic.twitter.com/Cqlp8BHa3p

          wait, doesn't that fan need a power outlet?

          Stick an inverter to a big enough deep cycle battery and you can run a box fan for hours. Only problem is lead-acid is heavy and lithium is expensive.

          Front line yard fans might be an option...

          There are mini fans that can be worn around the neck too—which might be clumsy in the fray-but if gassed-might help once a person steps away to recover.
