Live on the ground in Minneapolis. Lots of looting. Have been tear gassed and pepper sprayed.
Armed protestor.
Some photos. Have a good couple hours of footage too. Got tear gassed really good though so I’ll upload once I’m home and breathing better. And yes, I have footage Of when I got gassed.
This is when I first got there. About 20 mins later the protestors pushed the police back to the station where they began firing rubber bullets, tear gas, flash bangs, and other stuff at the crowd.
In the car trying to leave. Cub Foods getting looted too.
I need a journalist badge next time I capture footage for one of these.

Anyways,we’ll have tons of exclusive footage on @RT_com tomorrow. I made sure to get in the thick of it so people could really see what’s going on. My eyes and lungs hate me for it, and this was my first time ever doing something like this. Chaotic but intense. Adrenaline pumping
Pepper spray and tear gas.
Lots of rubber bullets and stuff.
Police firing from the roof of the precinct.
Anyways. Wrapping this up. Will have more intense footage tomorrow. Saving the best for @RT_com. As for other news orgs, no, you do not have my permission to use these clips.
Sorry some of this is sideways, too. Uploading from phone in the car. Will be better edited later. But on that note, I gotta take off. Tonight was not kind to my asthma. Long shower and some relaxing in my very near future.
I’m safely home now. Last pic for the night. Some souvenirs from some stuff that exploded a couple feet from me. A reminder of my first ever bit of on the ground coverage.
I know I said I'm taking a break, but I'm energized, here's more early footage, this is a few minutes before the protestors pushed on the police and they retreated to the station.
Police retreating and my first taste of explosions right near me.
This is where I almost got hit by some rubber bullets, but it was worth it for this footage.
The protestors start building a barrier, eventually it was moved much closer to the police and made a lot longer/bigger.
This dude did not like that one of the cops was black, eventually he got pepper sprayed.
The police launched tons of these things.
More explosives.
Ending things here, but we'll have more footage tomorrow on RT. There's still the part where I got tear gassed. Was interesting having milk poured in my eyes. LOL
