I wonder how many of those being arrested on MSNBC are from out of town, if any.

LOL! CNN anchor asking "why not use water cannons instead of tear gas?"
Has it been confirmed by AI or another person on Twitter?

How is the KSDK video live if the media were told to leave? I'm guessing just the audio is live from the reporter.
I guess the INTERNATIONAL part of their name means nothing to them. Good to know the cops don't care about how we're getting portrayed elsewhere.

Wow. I'd much prefer a CS grenade than having the flesh flayed off of my face with a water cannon.
So they're booting out the media and observers? Looks like they don't want people to see what's about to go down...
I would be surprised to see how many police departments in the US still have riot control vehicles/water cannon trucks.
Looks like it's being shot from inside a house... lol.

I'm genuinely not understanding
1) "You may protest but you may not congregate"
2) "Press, go here, not here"

Someone from SA was near Tim for most of the night and apparently was recording on his phone when shots went off and you could see the VICE people running for cover

This really happened? Well when people were shown getting plowed with water canons on tv back in the 60s people finally got off their asses.
We need this man to attend the next march, he is the hero that will save the day

Am I missing something?
It's just raw authority. It's not based on laws.
That was before he lost his credentials. Shit was lost when there was live ammunition fired later.
First visit since 1960's. I think we did pretty well.

The irony here is these radical violent out of state assholes are multiplying because the police presence is so numerous and armed.

Haven't read it all, yet, but what I've flipped through seems pretty thorough.

I'll admit I haven't been following this as closely as possible as I was eating lunch (following this from a a different country at the moment). Last I saw before I started reading the thread again was he was hit by a rubber bullet.
Anyways the situation there is crazy. And while there is escalation from anarchists and stuff the cops are using waaaaay too much force and aren't helping anything with the way they are acting.
Cool escorting the media out. I hope everyone else is recoding what is happening with their cell phones. We need know what the heck they are trying to do.

Rosemary Church asked the question. She's British, so I guess you might be able to give her a pass, but she should really know better.

That police line with guns looks like a modern day Civil War battle photo.
Why should they? You think the whole force is going to get fired over this? No. Someone will be scapegoated, and they'll promise some change they're never follow through with. This will all blow over in the end with nothing really changing.
Wow. So fucked up. Just trying to get home.

I would not be surprised if a good amount of the protest provocateurs are agent provocateurs.
Wow.

To be fair, those shotguns are purposes for less than lethal ammo. Indicated by the orange grip.

If the cops are going undercover to catch speeders...yeah, there's plenty of undercover cops in the crowd.
