At this point my phone cuts out. I end up making it to the end of the police barricade where a crowd of 20 people around the neighborhood are demanding to know what is going on. Police refuse to give them info and they begin to argue.

Someone on the third floor of a nearby building starts playing the NWO song, "Fuck the police." Which causes people to start dancing in the street. The police then charge forward at the crowd and arrest at least 2 people.

Around St. Vincent's Hospital I run into a man with an injury on his hand claiming that he had been trying to get home when he saw a barricade on the street. He told me he tried to approach the officer to ask what was going on and the officer set the k9 loose to attack the man.

Another man told me he had just finished a 14 hour shift at his work due to corona and was driving home when police stopped him and searched his car. After finding nothing police ordered him to leave on foot or be arrested.

I also witnessed police ordering drivers away from main south and accusing them of being part of the riots, when many were either taxi or uber drivers who clearly had no idea what was going on.
