I so fucking hate black bloc tactics. Completely pointless. May as well just sign up to be agent provocateurs for the cops - probably would get paid.

 

[Nanashrew]

It felt like things were going well too.

 

[TheJLC]

Well according to the scanner they are trying to secure a crime scene.

 

[kehs]

There's no live video anywhere?

 

[-Kees-]

@ToluseO

Police: "you must immediately disperse or you will be subject to arrest and other actions!" Nobody is moving.

Edit:

O. @ToluseO

Police repeating. "Failure to comply will result in further actions!" People have left the street but are still shouting at riot police

thank you

 

[Probity]

Oh god, this is going to turn terrible.

 

[kehs]

wow, people kneeling yelling "don't shoot"

cops: "peaceful request and or other action"

 

[FearMyWrench]

Are you kidding me

Here we go again

 

[everyday math]

Oh god, this is going to turn terrible.

Nah. The group is quite small. People are leaving.

 

[Mariolee]

"You better clean your room or I'll ground you! And other things!"

"Fine go ahead."

"DON'T MAKE ME DO IT."

 

[Spring-Loaded]

"Other action," huh?

 

[devilhawk]

This is exactly what they wanted

The police do not want to have cocktails thrown at them and rifles shot at them.

 

[Probity]

Nah. The group is quite small. People are leaving.

I mean for these people that are staying, it seems like it could get pretty negative.

 

[CrimsonCommie]

The police do not want to have cocktails thrown at them and rifles shot at them.

Then they shouldn't show up in fucking riot gear and antagonize them until it happens.

What I'm watching right now is a peaceful protest this isn't a riot.

 

[The Light]

Hope these are not the protestors and rather some individuals who want to cause some trouble. Guess it doesn't matter if they're not with the protestors since they will be lumped with them no matter what which will hurt the cause.

 

[kehs]

The police do not want to have cocktails thrown at them and rifles shot at them.

Prove that perceived threat.


e:

oh damn, it's a vice guy streaming, much respect

 

[PopeReal]

These cops are fucking idiots.... "clear the roadway or you are subject to arrest OR OTHER ACTIONS"...

this is America people...

 

[kehs]

Is this the local police department doing this shit?

Those people standing in the street are admirable.

 

[Probity]

Small-ish crowd, but still a really solid and strong amount of people there if things get bad.

 

[devilhawk]

Prove that perceived threat.


e:

oh damn, it's a vice guy streaming, much respect

They may not want the protestors to look good, but they sure as hell do not want to die. Riot gear doesn't hold up to rifles.

 

[jamesinclair]

These cops are fucking idiots.... "clear the roadway or you are subject to arrest OR OTHER ACTIONS"...

this is America people...

They're complete idiots.

Don't block the roadway? There's a line of cop cats blocking the roadway.

 

[everyday math]

Can they tell the media to leave?

 

[CrimsonCommie]

They may not want the protestors to look good, but they sure as hell do not want to die. Riot gear doesn't hold up to rifles.

These protestors are carrying fucking rifles

 

[El Odio]

What the hell is "other action?" A repeat of Wednesday?

 

[Probity]

Ugh. Not reading the comments anymore, those people are awful.

 

[kehs]

They may not want the protestors to look good, but they sure as hell do not want to die. Riot gear doesn't hold up to rifles.

The police do not want to have cocktails thrown at them and rifles shot at them.

Prove that this is a threat right now.

The police force literally have military grade gear.

 

[FiggyCal]

If I was in that community, I'd be even more upset about the police releasing the security footage of Michael Brown that turned out to have nothing to do with his death. These cops are disgraceful.

 

[Nanashrew]

Can they tell the media to leave?

No. They are in the public eye so their actions can be documented.

 

[demosthenes]

Can they tell the media to leave?

I don't think they want the media getting near their vehicles. Meida were approaching closer and that's when he addressed them direcctly.

 

[lednerg]

Who in the hell is in charge here? WTF?

 

[devilhawk]

Prove that this is a threat right now.

The police force literally have military grade gear.

Is it shocking that after a report of rifles in the area the police decide to protect themselves?

 

[Probity]

Well damn, the crowd is definitely getting bigger now.

 

[FiggyCal]

Why are they marching towards the police?

 

[Nabs]

This is amazing. It's going to get really bad for this Vice guy if the cops start their shit again.

 

[antonz]

Is it shocking that after a report of rifles in the area the police decide to protect themselves?

If the Police know where the Rifle carriers are which is not with the crowd then go deal with them. Stop harassing innocent people

 

[Trouble]

Why are they marching towards the police?

Yeah, that's not gonna help things.

 

[kehs]

Is it shocking that after a report of rifles in the area the police decide to protect themselves?

You think cops getting shot at with rifles are gonna stand still at a protest line?

Those reports are from a police scanner of unconfirmed things, which I have been listenting to.

just want to make sure people see the stream.

 

[ReiGun]

Officer on megaphone insists everyone must clear roadway. Warns media (who are standing to side) not exempt from "arrest or other actions"

Fucking a...

 

[PopeReal]

Get the fuck out of here with the "reports of rifles" shit unless we have video to prove it.

Both livestreams I have going are unarmed protesters.

Prove otherwise if you are going to bring up rifles.

 

[devilhawk]

Why are they marching towards the police?

Both sides are taunting, provoking, and baiting each other in their own ways.

 

[Hatchtag]

Ugh. Not reading the comments anymore, those people are awful.

Same man. I hadn't tuned in to this live before tonight, but holy crap. Those comments are horrible. Makes me glad I no longer have any social media accounts.

 

[EatinOlives]

Wait, the Highway patrol isn't in charge anymore?

 

[kehs]

Wait, the Highway patrol isn't in charge anymore?

They are.

Which makes this fucking audacious.

---

Just saw a dude with a camera with a bullet proof vest on. This is disgusting.

 

[CrimsonCommie]

Both sides are taunting, provoking, and baiting each other in their own ways.

No, one side is excercising their rights while the other is trying to take those rights away

 

[Spring-Loaded]

Same man. I hadn't tuned in to this live before tonight, but holy crap. Those comments are horrible. Makes me glad I no longer have any social media accounts.

Use the pop-out view.

 

[FiggyCal]

This is my first time seeing footage of the protests themselves. You can definitely feel the genuine passion these people have.
