Police were just tear gassing protesters in downtown Columbus. Another 50 or so just showed up in riot gear. Probably 70(ish) cop cars blocking off high street.

There is a very small amount of people protesting. As far as I’ve seen they’ve been peaceful.

Police said they going to start tear gassing again. This is the crowd.

The crowd is breaking out in a panic as State Troopers (I think) descend on the crowd.

By panic, I mean verb panic, all protesters (as far as I can see) remain peaceful as more law enforcement descends.

The troopers seem to be packing up now.

What I saw today:
-Police ramming bikes into nonviolent protesters.
-Police tear gas nonviolent protesters.
-Police announce that they were going to tear gas people, these people were nonviolent.
-State troopers & police in full riot gear to block off intersections downtown
