I posted some of these clips already, but here, in one video, is what I& #39;d show people from my footage of the first night of the #GeorgeFloydProtests here in PDX: May 29 at the Multnomah County Justice Center.
AFAIK, photo/videography still isn& #39;t a crime.

Early yesterday AM, this officer told a very civil protester asking Qs about their rights that they needed a press "pass" to be considered "media" ("they& #39;re allowed to be here").
I didn& #39;t have a press "pass." You& #39;re supposed to be identifiable. See TRO: https://twitter.com/Rjaellis/status/1278845810541654016?s=20">https://twitter.com/Rjaellis/...

I understand this might seem like a small thing, but to me, it came off as deceptive. The officer didn& #39;t say that you should/need to be visibly identifiable as "media"/"press." He specifically said yes, you need a "pass." There& #39;s no one official pass. https://twitter.com/econbrkfst/status/1281450852562030593?s=20">https://twitter.com/econbrkfs...
Something I learned when the PPB picked up my phone (still curious which officer: https://twitter.com/econbrkfst/status/1278910718700425216?s=20)">https://twitter.com/econbrkfs... is that, in certain situations, officers can decide not to communicate with you if they deem it may cause a "flashpoint" and thus escalation. Just interesting, IMO.
I& #39;ve been in many situations in which the only communication from officers consisted of announcements, LRAD warnings, shouts of "MOVE!!!" They& #39;ll stand silently while protesters ask them to identify themselves, ask for business cards. I& #39;ve heard a few interesting answers, though.
I thought the answers from this officer were somewhat interesting: https://twitter.com/econbrkfst/status/1273243657311621120?s=20
That">https://twitter.com/econbrkfs... was from before the TRO about "press"/"media."

When the cops are filming me (also protest attendees in general), I& #39;ll definitely film them back. AFAIK, that& #39;s not a crime yet. https://twitter.com/econbrkfst/status/1274505328676139008?s=20">https://twitter.com/econbrkfs...
This is one of those moments I think folks should see. Officers in camo ran into Chapman Square, seemingly unprompted (peaceful vigil). They deployed "LOW ROLL Distraction Device[s]" at close range, then retreated to the federal building across the street. https://twitter.com/econbrkfst/status/1280835703924854784?s=20">https://twitter.com/econbrkfs...

The officers didn& #39;t clear the area of deployment. They chucked these "LOW ROLL Distraction Device[s]" toward people who& #39;d just been standing in Chapman Square, gathered around tea candles that were lit on the ground memorializing Summer Taylor. https://twitter.com/econbrkfst/status/1280923894900117504?s=20">https://twitter.com/econbrkfs...

This stuff is what I want to be doing, but I& #39;m not able to do what others are. I& #39;m glad I was able to meet and learn from some of those people. I have a lot of thank-yous and apologies I& #39;d like to make, but I don& #39;t think that& #39;s what people want to hear. https://twitter.com/econbrkfst/status/1281301422718345216?s=20">https://twitter.com/econbrkfs...
