        Along the highway to Poly U we have protesters who came to flank the police and now more police coming in behind the protesters. It would have made for a tough moment for protesters, but they got a warning police were coming and took off mostly down a side street.pic.twitter.com/rtwXXayabi

        The call now is for supporters to stream in from all directions to free the students and others on the campus. What we’re seeing along the highway is one stream of protesters responding to a call to arms that’s supposed to flank police on all sides. Police seem aware of this.pic.twitter.com/LuJ8fBesFL

        Im on the east side, but on the west side the same thing seems to be happening. Crowds coming to confront police who have the PolyU campus surrounded and are letting no one leave. At least 100s inside, many determined for a showdown.https://twitter.com/stegersaurus/status/1196094319955976192?s=21 …

        So for the past ten minutes or so things have quietened down significantly. Seems there’s a ceasefire and police have stopped their assault. The big fire is out. Students still seem in control of the entrance. But the whole school is smoldering in a haze of smoke and tear gas.pic.twitter.com/zxQcZxN44w
