Man they fucking rolled an armored vehicle THROUGH THE CROWD assembled outside the courthouse in Kenosha
Tonnnnns of tear gas and flashbangs and rubber bullets being shot out the windows of the armored vehicle from where it's parked next to the fence
Someone is trying to reason with the cops at the fenceline and is getting shot at in the HEAD. LRAD telling him to take his complaints up with the governor - he opens the umbrella and LRAD says opening the umbrella is a riotous act EVEN THOUGH THESE COPS ARE SHOOTING AT HIS HEAD
Another armored vehicle driving through the park in the middle of protestors
A protestor tried to get another protestor away from the fence and was shot in the back of the fucking head
A protestor tried to get another protestor away from the fence and was shot in the back of the fucking head
This is wild, y'all. What the fuck is happening
Folks have tipped a dumpster over to use as a barricade back in the park, this protestor near the fenceline is getting shot at with impact rounds
They just maced this protestor straight in the face near the fenceline - he's completely blinded by bear mace and LRAD is telling him to go home because he's "clearly intoxicated" because he's fucking staggering this motherfucking LRAD motherfucker
Fireworks being thrown at the fenceline. LRAD keeps asking folks to go home - he honestly sounds pretty exasperated
One of the fireworks made it over the fence and landed right in the middle of a crowd of cops on the other side
Looks like they've regrouped in the park, you can hear the chants on stream. And the tons of pepperballs and impact rounds being shot.
Folks behind the shield wall saying "protect your head!"
Folks behind the shield wall saying "protect your head!"
Tons of disperal orders heard on stream. Folks just keep regrouping - they aren't going anywhere by the looks of it
LRAD getting pissed now - "STAY AWAY FROM OUR VEHICLES, STAY AWAY FROM OUR VEHICLES"
LRAD weapon keeps getting turned up to try and disperse the crowd. Getting super loud
Looking at a different stream, looks like they've built out the shield wall around the dumpster to keep folks protected from multiple sides
Teargas deployed near the fenceline, and behind the shield wall. Fireworks being sent back
riot cops on the move - might be heading into the park to clear it out
ARMORED VEHICLE JUST FAKED LIKE THEY WERE GONNA HIT PROTESTORS NEAR THE FENCELINE
Protestors are leaning on the armored vehicle to prevent it from moving into the park
LRAD is fucking PISSED. "MOVE NOW, MOVE BACK, MOVE BACK"
Trying to find streams that aren't fucking cop lovers or alt-right - there are a ton on Youtube to pick from
Riot police are now out from behind the fence, deploying tear gas. I'm watching medics tend to an unresponsive protestor on another stream
Shitload of tear gas deployed. The riot line is like three hundred cops, fuck this reminds me of my last day in MSP
LRAD continuing to encourage press to "report all of it" - lol
Cops about to push into the park - still shooting impact rounds at protestors
Armored vehicles have moved forward into the park
The push is happening now - man, LRAD still saying "Thank you for your cooperation, please go home safely!"
Multiple streams here:
Man LRAD is not having a good night: "LEAVE THE PARK, PLEASE LEAVE THE PARK - YOU--MOVE FORWARD, THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION, PLEASE GO HOME"
Police appear to be firing in the direction of the press pools who are on the sides of the crowd.
Some of these streams feature some pretty injured protestors
Some of these streams feature some pretty injured protestors
Man, there has got to be like 300 cops in that riot line
Heard on stream: "Man, this tear gas is so bad it just burns your face wherever you go"
Also heard on stream: "SAME SHIT, DIFFERENT YEAR. SAME SHIT, DIFFERENT DAY. SAME SHIT, DIFFERENT HOUR!"
Followed quickly by screams of "MEDIC!" behind the streamer
Followed quickly by screams of "MEDIC!" behind the streamer
A single protestor is standing in the road with hands up, facing away from the riot line going "SHOOT ME IN THE BACK, MOTHERFUCKER"
I just want to remind folks following this thread that I'm livetweeting the streams coming out of Kenosha, WI tonight.
Found here:
Lol LRAD is losing his voice
There are comrades that I seriously and truly care about who are texting me from the scene in Kenosha - I'm gonna follow these streams until they've told me they're safe or the streams cut out.
This live stream aggregator on Youtube is blurring the injuries that streamers are taking footage of, but the images before they blur the protestors are...graphic
