I’m at Ohio/Meridian we are more than 100 people are protesting recent shootings by police @indystar @crysnhill @JennaRWatson @KWilkinson3
Washington and Meridian Street now the group I was with, about a dozen people in black lives matter T-shirts, just split up
I’m following the group heading north, we may be going back to Ohio Street
This protest has lost steam. People seem to be going home
I think I tweeted too soon. Can’t see it yet but I hear a lot of chance and car horns on Meridian Street north of Ohio Street
Police cars moving at Market and Illinois
Protest back on Monument Circle. Still more than 100 people
Police firing smoke grenades
Might have been pepper gas. I got a dose. Eyes watering. Crowd dispersed pretty fast though
Tensions rise
More tear gas,
Another volley of gas from officers
More gas followed by protesters roll a dumpster across the street
Getting heated on the Statehouse lawn where 50-plus are yelling
“I can’t breathe”
“Fuck the police”
“Black Lives Matter”
More teargas
Police flooded Capitol with gas to disperse crowd. V hard to breathe
If you are near downtown tonight you are smelling teargas in the streets
