          Just overheard an officer point out someone with a hammer. I am really afraid people will get hurt today. This has that ugly and chaotic energy.

          I’m really afraid of what the rest of University Avenue looks like. The police are concentrated here at the Target and other businesses here have a bare bones police presence. I hope i parked far away enough to be able to exit safely
