The police did this to protesters and press when I was in Minneapolis last weekend. In two days I was in four police drive by shootings of rubber bullets and tear gas. One time was extra special and was performed by the SWAT team behind the Kmart.
Minneapolis PD have now taken to gassing peaceful protestors from the safety of their vehicles. That’s right, they now offer drive-by gassings 🤬.

LAPD just shot a protester in the fucking face. A psycho with the 40mm gun is just pointing the shit at everyone. The center light is attached to the 40mm launcher.

Spotted the FBI outside the sixth precinct by Christopher street. Spotted about a dozen spread out across the four checkpoints. Also spotted the DEA all over lower Manhattan at checkpoints to precincts.

The fighting is finally over. It looks like the camp on the ucla campus looks like it was hit by a tornado. The police didn’t even clean, they just broke the protesters things.

I almost screamed at one of the scooter cops to do something while the Proud Boys were pummeling people. So I gotta ask, was standing there and watching while doing absolutely nothing part of the investigation? They seemed pretty intent on not interfering until I did something.
The NYPD is fully investigating last night’s attack involving the Proud Boys. If you know anything, the NYPD wants your help. Hate is never welcome in NYC and we will punish those responsible — whether they threw punches or incited violence — to the fullest extent of the law.

The Proud Boys even waited to do a group photo after the fights. They were hyped the fuck up after that. Flashing their white power hand symbol before marching towards a downtown train.

So followed the proud boys as they left the event. About 1-2 blocks away a 30 (proud boys) V 3 (randoms) fight broke out. It ended with 30 proud boys pummeling a guy on the ground screaming “ARE YOU BRAVE NOW FAGGOT?!” Going home now to file and edit the shots.

The LAPD, California High patrol and the Los Angeles Sheriff’s department formed as a coalition to raid the UCLA Gaza solidarity encampment. It seems like the police really went out of their way to make this raid as arduous and painful as possible. 1/10

It’s a sad day in hell when fucking Joe Rogan is giving you legal advice on not openly admitting that you’re in charge of a hate group that operates like the gang.
Gavin McInnes brags that Proud Boys is a "gang"and explains the levels of this gang. Says the highest degree is "you get arrested or in a serious violent fight for the cause."

Proud boys jumped on the train about 45 minutes ago. They were going to a bar in the east village. Didn’t follow them onto the train, so I’m guessing we might hear about more fights tonight.

Police attacked the crowd to get them to move out of the way of the prison bus with those arrested today. Lots of flash bangs and less lethals launched just now at the UCLA campus. Along with about 3-5 new arrests.

Still in a standoff. The protesters are at the edge of the park they occupied but have barricaded the exit. The police moved their line to match the protesters. The sun is starting to come up as well. The fight has literally lasted all night long.

It’s worth noting that the NYPD stood and watched the attack unfold. They only stepped in after everything was over so they did less than even their bare minimum. So the only reason this happened was because the police let a hate group march and attack people at their leisure.
Previously unreleased video, obtained by The Times, shows that the Proud Boys initiated an attack in Manhattan against a handful of anti-fascist protesters, not the other way around, as their founder initially claimed

I’m fascinated to see how Kamala/Walz react to the protests outside the DNC in a couple weeks. This is already not a great sign.

Not a great sign that the police in Chicago are already playing hide the ball with their training materials for out of towner cops coming to the DNC. I’m guessing no one will ever see the materials until it gets FOIA’d.
NEW: Chicago Police is refusing to share the training materials for the hundreds of out-of-town cops coming to the city for the DNC. The dept claims that the training materials for those cops are still in draft form — less than one week from the start of the convention.

Even more people are roaming around the UCLA campus in support of Palestine. I’d say there’s almost an equal amount of Palestine supporters on east and west side. The LAPD are trying to control the situation but keeping their distance. Even with the low flying helicopter.

So the organizers have asked for quiet time so that people in the encampment can sleep. That puts everyone outside the camp on barricade watch. The current rumor is still 1AM so now we wait and see what’s gonna go down. It has weird DMZ vibes right now with the choppers.

The LAPD took over a corner on the other side of the occupation to hold up for now. It might seem random but I think the police are trying to divide the crowd and wear people out before 1AM. So far that’s what the rumor mill says eviction time will be.

Some people get locked up for years just for having a small amount of weed on them. This neo nazi had a goddamn rocket launcher and they let him walk.
The police and FBI arrested a neo-Nazi terrorist whose garage was full of explosives. After he said he used the explosives for model rockets, THEY LET HIM GO. Then he got an AR-15 and tried to commit a mass shooting. Incredible ProPublica investigation:

This is a great example of the harassment journalists faced outside of Adas Torah. They were just so incredibly hostile to anyone that looked like they were recording. Like I’ve covered a lot of different types of groups protesting and none of them have been this weird about.
Here’s the extended version where I get surrounded by kids and water thrown at me and jabbed with her flagpole. Why are there so many bratty kids out? So annoying.

According to the doxx released by anti fascists, two of the attackers from the friday night Proud Boy attack are here. Geoff Young and Maxwell Hare are seen here with Mcinnes and Cernovich.
Yesterday, "Weird Mike" Cernovich deleted all his tweets as the NYPD launched a full scale investigation into the white nationalist crime syndicate, the Proud Boys. Cernovich is tight with Proud Boy cult leader, Gavin McInnes. They collaborate frequently.

So the LAPD essentially did a drive by shooting from an unmarked car while following teens for no real reason.

I can’t get past how the LAPD’s liability budget is more than the entire budget for the LAFD. It looks like the LAPD gets an extra 70% of their budget just to pay for their mistakes. That’s about 200 million dollars just for the LAPD and their bad decisions.
TOMORROW, the City Council will vote on the Mayor's proposed budget. Here's what we've learned about the City's finances and budget process since being in Office 🧵:. • The City is NOT GOOD at budgeting or being fiscally prudent (we're estimated to spend $620M+ OVER budget)

At Michigan & 9th, where protest is supposed to be wrapping and rallying with more speakers, a tremendous amount of CPD have blocked the road. Protesters are now being routed into the park. The John Alexander Logan monument is surrounded by barricades.
