I'm here at Monroe Park in Richmond, in solidarity with Louisville, to demand justice for Breonna Taylor. RPD is here too

Many students are illegally hanging out in the park while it's closed. RPD is watching, and not enforcing the law. Someone should tell the law & order folks
Maybe 200 people here, with some cops mixing into the crowd.
The cops are gone, presumably to go put on riot gear. Apparently they were talking to people, trying to figure out who's organizing this
The crowd is on the move now
Breonna Taylor's name is ringing through the streets of Richmond
Cops are following at a distance, with lights on

"Stand up, fight back! No more Black women under attack!"
Approaching the 3rd precinct
Dozens of cop cars here or on the way. Riot cops kettling us
This is a bad situation imo
Some heavily armed, military-style troops here apparently
We're marching again, and I'm much happier
"Fire, fire, colonizer! Powhatan used to live here!"

I like this version 🔥
We're currently walking towards Belvidere, so this is... bad https://twitter.com/balloonpuppy/status/1308956739946131457?s=19
The crowd is at RPD HQ, where cops are armed with assault rifles. I just saw a report that a cop was shot in Louisville, so the pigs may be more on edge than usual
Lots of staties here
They've got a drone up
"You killed Marcus!" being chanted at RPD. Cops are telling people to disperse

Cops in Richmond are prepared to mass murder protesters. This is very cool and not at all fascistic 🙃
Well if it isn't my old friend Michael Verbena 👋🏻
"Vote for Democrats to stop fascism!'

Democrats:
Someone was just arrested. The crowd was pepper sprayed, and people ran. I very nearly got run down in the stampede. Don't run y'all!

The line has reformed now, in the same place.
