Shit, friends. They& #39;re calling in the Guard. Alright, getting on the radio now. https://twitter.com/NifMuhammad/status/1266847977697673216?s=19">https://twitter.com/NifMuhamm...
Per usual most/all of their chatter around protests is happening on a backchannel. So frustrating.

Trying to find a good livestream to livetweet.
Ah yes, more emergency banners. Someone really fucked up when they designed that mechanism.
Midwatch just role called 10 officers with two or three rifles between them. They& #39;re waiting on two more to rustle up some gear.
Mount Caramel East has two on guard duty.
There& #39;s a burned out car at Spring and High, trying to find anyone to go tow it.
Trying to get any car in the city to report to the burned out car at Spring and High. Going to try and get a tow truck to it. Protesters jumping on it, "causing issues."

CPD has one hell of a buddy system, I tell ya. They don& #39;t go anywhere without at least a dozen buddies.

Role call included more shotguns, more rifles. It sounds like a large group is headed to HQ?
Once more for the people in the back: https://twitter.com/mattstockhausen/status/1266855636576407552?s=20">https://twitter.com/mattstock...
Meanwhile in Philly, they& #39;re invading an apple store and also!!! https://twitter.com/jpegjoshua/status/1266851713677512714?s=20">https://twitter.com/jpegjoshu...
God, that was like 6 emergency banners at once. Sounds like they just deployed some gas.
ALERT: officers marching out of "the alley" and onto 4th.
LMAO Morrow County just asked if CPD was missing a cruiser cuz one is headed northbound on 71 and everybody panicked. Alas, sounds like it& #39;s just a cop headed to pick up more equipment. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😑" title="Expressionless face" aria-label="Emoji: Expressionless face">
They have a tow truck they& #39;re trying to get to Spring and High.
Asking for a car to go to 390 N. 4th St, and for more cars to meet the wrecker there to get the burned out car at Spring and High.
Keep an eye out for this fucking narc.
There& #39;s a car fire on 161, didn& #39;t catch the cross street. One cop responding, blocking whatever that cross street I didn& #39;t catch was (sounds like Aubrey but is not).
Lol sorry some of these tweets are dumb half information. I& #39;d rather provide half-information transparently than complete information falsely. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😅" title="Smiling face with open mouth and cold sweat" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with open mouth and cold sweat">
Requesting guard at Fulton and South 4th St. - probably the highway entrance? And/or the fire station.
Officer ( #51652363) reporting to role call at 7PM at the academy.

They requested an officer be made available to transport a dispatcher to another facility.
Whatever you got going on at Marconi has them scared, friends.

Sending a car from each precinct to act as a standby force. They are to stay in their cars until they& #39;re told otherwise.
^Approaching from the south.
Was without headset for a few minutes. I hope I didn& #39;t miss anything important. :x
Prisoner transport from HQ canceled, is something going down at HQ?
Alarms/glass breaks at 614 Magazine on 458 E. Main and at 50 W Town St.
Dispatch is struggling to find available folks *not* going downtown. Cars 71 and 72 are taking priority runs, not sure how many others.

It looks like nobody wants to miss out on the opportunity to gas some civilians, it& #39;s why they wear the badge.
So many shotguns.
White and silver mustang racing each other on 70E toward 71, because ofc.
Two separate shooting reports at roughly the same time, might have been the detection system? They mentioned there were no calls about them.

More cops headed to HQ.
Just a note for all my friends listening, be careful what you believe. https://twitter.com/IwriteOK/status/1266802058700546048">https://twitter.com/IwriteOK/...

These accidental banners are neverending.
Just listed 8-10 pairs of cops, none of which have riot gear. It sounds like one is going downtown, the rest may be responding to priority calls. Here& #39;s hoping.
Back, had to grab a big ol& #39; glass of last week& #39;s white wine. Classy AF.
Drunk white guy in his 50s on 71S hanging out of the window of his minivan, just ran someone off the road.

Wild out there, stay safe friends.
Sgt sending a car on an errand, told them to "go back to 5B".
Apparently the cops are also concerned about a man from out of town "here to stop all protesting." Keep your head on a swivel, babes.
Door bashed at Capital University.
