20 boogaloo’s at Garret Foster’s vigil in #austin from just now. Tweet thread as I receive info from the ground there. Rumors that 3%’s will show up. Tensions are very high. #GarrettFoster #austinprotest
Mike Ramos brigade (a Red Guards front group) has shown up chanting anti Daniel Perry and anti cop slogans, about 25 people. Texan Guerillas, the militia #GarrettFoster was a part of, is there too, armed.
Info wars truck is driving around.
Chants of "Where's the weapon, where's the crime? Why'd Mike Ramos have to die?"
Cop car that is circling threatening to arrest protests who leave the sidewalk and bike cops have brought out the pepper spray
A protestor just had their umbrellas snatched and destroyed by #APD
About 20 anti-BLM militia guys across the steet from the memorial, heavily armed. They say they're here to protect people's rights, but quite a few have thin blue line patches.
Here they are.
Boogs returned about 30 deep maybe 15 minutes ago
Lots of police showing up as protestors took to the intersection
This is in the interaction of 4th and Congress.
Line of DPS, Texas Department of Public safety (basically state police?), on 4th.
Local Austin fascist Chris Ritchie (who marched in Charlottesville) is apparently standing with the Threepers #austinprotests
A sheriff bus arrived about 20 minutes ago.
Boogaloo boys have started facing off/arguing with #APD. Tense situation.
People have all gone different directions. A group has arrived at the #APD headquarters and few people are left at the vigil I am being told. Might be a group going to block the freeway?
Three black men seem to have been arrested right under I-35 right in front of #APD’s HQ. March of protesters have shown up at almsot the same time.
Police are defending the #APD HQ behind barricades. They are threatening to arrest anyone blocking the road. #austinprotest
Police riding horses are incoming as the police announce “This is the Austin police. You are violating state law. You must move out of the street immediately. If you do not move you will be subject to arrest for obstructing the roadway” #austinprotests #APD
