I hear someone on the live now saying the crows seems as big or bigger than last night

That fence has probably been reinforced since yesterday but what if it comes down anyway - where is that going to lead ? 

I heard 30% bigger than last night. It’s the biggest night. The feds do not want the fence to come down. They are intensely defending it. They unleash enormous tear gas last night. It filled three blocks at the ne point.I think the fence is actually good for protestors, yet as the night goes on - the energy will intensify. 
 

I agree negotiations are important, yet it’s a nonfactor in tonight’s dynamics

Here they come. . .

The fence is protecting the protestors. The feds want to protect it at all costs. They want to stay inside and only come out to protect the fence. They stay inside the courtyard until the crowd thins out around 3am. Then they come out and patrol the streets

The protestors have gotten very good at combating the tear gas. They form protected phalanxes and blow the gas bas into the courtyard with leaf blowers. Plus their tolerance for gas exposure is much higher. So the feds have been unleashing enormous amounts of gas.

The crowd is chill right now, yet it will likely intensify. I don’t know how the feds will respond if the fence comes down. It would highly escalate the situation. If the crowd was still large, they may feel like their lives are in danger. They may run back into the courthouse or fire lots of high impact projectiles. I hope it doesn’t get worse than that.

what would the protesters likely do if the fence comes down and those troops can't handle the crowd?    What would the protesters do to the building?try to break in? 

[Nak Khid]

Today in Louisville where the Breonna Taylor case was, police had separated with barriers and armed all black militia group on one side (NFAC) aka The "Not Fucking Around Coalition" (who showed up at Mount Rushmore earlier in the month) and on the other side of a wide street the 3% an armed white (mainly) militia group 

In the NFAC area one of their guns accidentally went off and 3 of their own members were wounded (but not that seriously I think) 

To think what could have happened had either of those groups taken a shot at the other

Is this still about George Floyd's death?

It’s unpredictable. If the crowd is large the feds will unload massive gas and shoot high impact projectiles to defend the fence. I don’t know what would happen if it comes down. If it’s later in the night with a smaller crowd, they can defend it better. I think a lot of the protestors know the fence is protecting them. They shake it really hard to agitate the feds. It is the highest priority for the feds. It’s the only reason the come out. They would much rather stay inside and just come out occasionally.

Now they are talking about another case Breonna Taylor. Not long before George Floyd there was the Ahmauad Arbery case 
and other cases going back years

It’s gotten bigger than blm with the feds entering the state. Yet the core issue is still blm.  Not just Floyd. All of them. Breanna and the rest

From what/whom?

This is the best cam right now

Things are escalating. The gassing has started. The protestors have gotten very skilled at combating the gas and their tolerance is much higher.

[Nak Khid]

I wonder if Trump is watching this or is like "tell me about it in the morning or wake me up if the fence comes down"

From the federal militia. When the crowd is large, the feds will stay inside the fence. Inside the courtyard. They don’t come out until the crowd thins down to a few hundred. Around 3am

[Nak Khid]

There was a protester  last night, had a leaf blower to deflect the gas

Who put the fence up to protect the protestors from the Feds?

Also, if the fence is protecting them, why are the protestors breaking it down?

Today is day 58 of teargassing. The protestors have gotten sooo good at redirecting gas. They work together with leaf blowers, umbrellas and sheets of wood. The gas grenades don’t ignite on fire for about five seconds and the protestors have gotten very bold with picking them up and throwing them back in the courtyard.

There are many leaf blowers. They need one leaf blower about every 10 ft for maximum effectiveness

The feds have also brought leaf blowers, yet they are outnumbered.

The protestors have gotten very skilled. It’s impressive

The feds put the fence up. It’s counter-intuitive
