Just showed up very late for this one, there's still a solid 300-plus people here, I'd say. Marching towards sheriff's station right now
Coverage here of what happened earlier, including speeches by #dijonkizzee's family https://twitter.com/josie_huang/status/1302394863716106242?s=19
An organizer with @BLMLA is speaking now. He says before we step on to the sheriff's property again, we need to remind ourselves why we're here: to uplift Dijon Kizzee's name
Also you should all follow @cogeian for more coverage of what happened earlier and what's happening now
Sheriffs have a serious war zone setup here. People are screaming at them "fuck your gang!"
People are, understandably, very fucking angry here. Nobody's done anything to provoke the sheriffs yet though
Folks are approaching the barricades. Some have umbrellas and shields
That's an LRAD, right?
Sheriffs are yelling at people to move away from the barricade. They just shot something that let off smoke but it wasn't tear gas
Sheriffs are unloading a truly unreal amount of munitions
They're specifically targeting people that are filming. In the video above, they saw me filming so they started shooting at me and I had to run
They just kept fucking going for absolutely no reason. They started doing it with no warning
They would not fucking stop. This rivaled the feds in Portland, just no rhyme or reason and it just kept fucking going
Now they're just shooting at passing cars
Multiple injured people, one person groaning in pain, sounds really awful
At the risk of losing journalistic objectivity, FUCK LASD
NLG observer tells me they called an unlawful at 8:54. She confirmed there was no unlawful called before the barrage of riot munitions
People are gathered up at an intersection a block down the street and everybody's afraid to leave because they'll start shooting again
Somebody threw a couple water bottles so they opened up again
They got this car with a flashbang but it seems to have been a dud
Reminder that people were peacefully protesting the murder of a Black man, Dijon Kizzee, who they murdered over a vehicle code violation on his bicycle. And then they attacked the entire crowd indiscriminately with no warning
Unexploded munition on the street here
