Back in downtown San José near city hall, where intense police standoff played out during #GeorgeFloyd protests yesterday. Protesters filling about half a block so far, heavy police presence @mercnews

Protesters heading down Santa Clara now with chants of “Say his name. George Floyd.” Some on bikes, scooters, cars honking in support.

“The only minority looting America is the rich”

Was talking to protester Erin Thompson, 24, about how today felt more calm when a water bottle sailed past into the police line. Immediately police fired off rubber bullets, a flash bang and tear gas — calm shattered

Now back at city hall, where police lines are standing w/vehicles lining the entire block between 4th and 5th, perpendicular to confrontation yesterday. Line of protesters forming in front of police, chopper circling. 2 sheriff’s buses
