[places a second, much, much larger pin]

this is Eugene V Dabbs first public Twitter post about the missing persons https://twitter.com/Eugene_V_Dabbs/status/1275510519760211969
[pops in the first tape]

here we go
it's a relatively short video, and tbh i've already seen it, this time i'm going to be paying attention to the chat and poking around on facebook
from here i'll be summarizing, other than establishing the sources for obvious reasons i've no interest in doxing individual activists
one of the commentators immediately provides one
first impression: establishing principles here is going to be key, there's going to be a lot of he-said-she-said as to who went where and when the cops did what, who fired on who, etc and i'm here for it but this stuff right here is essentials real researchers will need later
a minute in you can hear the crowd much larger than depicted on screen as vaun approaches, commentators have already started talking about "they took people out" and "they took the kids out"
vaun gets around to the police cordon as chat explodes
the crowd is large, spread out over several city blocks and you can see that clearly as vaun walks around, but it's so chaotic no individual shot really captures the size of it, you'll just have to watch the video if you want to see yourself
two minutes in vaun is near the house, you can start to see the central bulk of the crowd though again there's easily ten times as many spread out on the surrounding blocks, and talk of people being taken out the back starts being heard on audio
2:08 someone yells out, "they took the babies"
police holding the crowd back
more cops
vaun takes a glance back at the crowd, Krystal Milton's name is mentioned in full for the first time outside of a local missing person's story (that i'm aware of), and someone says they did not search the house and someone else notes people were led out in handcuffs
three minutes in police begin making unintelligible announcements over the loudspeaker, also, there are many more of them now
vaun speaks to the camera, says "this right here is unacceptable yall because if any kids came out that house and they searched that house that means they didn't search the fucking house"
first reference to the prevailing story, which is that the cops went in once, came out, told the crowd nothing was there, then later people in the crowd claim to have seen them sneaking people out of the back of the house
a woman approaches vaun and says she saw five people leave the house with the police, she says she isn't sure if she's in the vehicle you can see or one that left earlier

you can see her fingernail pointing at bottom of screen, police vehicle in second pic
vaun turns to the camera and repeats the woman's story, pretty much as i've described it, in the meantime the police have formed a bicycle line
additional details emerge, including references to other livestreams not mentioned on twitter (that i know of as of this post)
a man with a loudspeaker approaches the front as the crowd begins spontaneously chanting black lives matter, once he settles in he begins leading them in more specific chants

vaun moves around the crowd towards the group visible on the right in the previous pictures
once he gets in place you can see the house once again the house is surrounded by large crowds in every direction, they just aren't all pushing in on the cops at once
here vaun moves in to get a closer look at the police van, what they're calling paddy wagon on camera
a man approaches vaun to talk about the police, says "they escalated all of this"

meanwhile, chat is off the chain now
the man in the white shirt continues, he says he was here the first time that the police came to the house says they went inside, came out, said everything was fine, and *walked off* then returned after a crowd gathered and set up a perimeter
vaun asks the man directly "did they take kids out of this house?" the man says yes, four, and describes them (vaguely: small boy, large girl, the last two are hard to make out with the crowd in the background i'll follow up on the specifics later if they are corroborated at all)
clarification: he says a gay man came out of the house, a large girl, an old man, and two boys - yes i know that's five and he said four, i've watched this segment live & five times in a row now, the pictures don't really convey just how chaotic and loud the scene is
some speculation at the top here, and at the bottom a commentator says they personally saw more than four, earlier this same commentator referenced 10 when speaking to another person in chat
a new man on the audio says he saw six come out, points to one of the cops, and says, "and that motherfucker laughed"
vaun doesn't show his face, you can see the back of his shirt and the cop he was talking about here though
the crowd is much larger and closer to the police seven minutes in, first helmet appears too, i've seen flack vests in the crowd now too and tactical gear
red shirt guy is pointing over a person and directly at a cop, loudly demanding to know why if nothing's going on in there why is there a forensic investigation team on site taking out evidence
someone in the crowd is yelling out, "wasn't none of them handcuffed" over and over
someone in chat claims to have seen the van pulled up to the door so people could be taken out more quickly
quick shot of the crowd size, for reference
another livestream is referenced in chat, we'll get to it later

if you're ahead of the room and want to skip to the next tape link is here https://www.facebook.com/ArmyPrince414/videos/4513791338638380/?hc_location=ufi
someone on audio says, "it's like nine kids missing in total"
the crowd notices, starts talking about, and vaun zooms in on, this cop's hand tattoo
more van discourse in the chat
not sure if the officer reference is a shitpost or not, could be followed up on

details about hoods at bottom
vaun notes the cop's knuckle tattoos spell out "P U R E E V I L"

(just reporting the news here, fam)
twelve minutes in you can see a crowd has formed near the paddy wagon
seems relevant
vaun points out new cops are arriving in riot gear
some were visible previously as well in similar gear, the camera is moving a lot so the stills aren't great but you could make out the armor more clearly watching it in motion
a woman on the audio starts yelling across the crowd to vaun, she says that a lady in a green jacket came to the house "looking for her baby" when vaun asks the woman to say it again she says "that's why we're here"
vaun zooms in on men in suits leaving the house, one of them has approached the crowd
another man speaking, vaun has held the camera over so you can hear them clearly: "yeah, they did remove some of the people out of the house..." he trails off as he and vaun both turn to look at this guy, and says "that's- that's evidence"
camera follows this guy walking back to the other cops with the bags, you could see him in the background picking up something in grass and putting it in one of the bags
random note: i just saw helmet dude from earlier holding high dollar crotchrocket gloves, so i think he's just a bike guy and not a riot guy
vaun moves in close to the man in the suit who emerged from the house earlier, you can't really make out what he's saying but i can see someone else was recording it
street address
the crowd continues to grow by the minute, every time the camera pans to a new angle there is less open space
vaun says he's running out of battery, suggests viewers "switch to frank live" or just look for him later, will follow up on both of those leads as we go here

vaun links the following facebook pages in the video for further reference, as well:
