Last night got kinda wild. The police were shooting rubber bullets at people who were just sitting down on curbs.

Whole thing started out peacefully until some police fucked it up.

Apparently today's is getting bad much faster. It's also cold and raining so people are probably a little more agitated.

Same here in Columbus, cept instead of rubber bullets it was a fuckton of mace on a line of people just standing there. Then shit hit the fan.

Protest has moved into the Old Market area, near the corrections center.

We're an incredibly diverse city, being right in the middle of the country. Like a smaller, crappier NYC with affordable housing.

Jesus Christ, it's getting rough down there. Bunch of businesses getting their windows smashed in. One guy I know got shot by a rubber bullet while streaming and he was literally just walking and documenting the situation. No one nearby was causing any trouble.

Gonna drive down there tomorrow to check on my favorite shops and see if I can help. Been going to them for nearly a decade.

We also have the College World Series (except for this year cuz the 'rona) and the best zoo in the country.

The pics I saw weren't totally clear, they could have been cameras on tripods but snipers makes more sense contextually.

The owner of a bar downtown, a guy who has a documented history of being a racist Trump supporting piece of human garbage, literally fucking murdered a protester outside his shitty bar. Just saw the video.

Fucking disgusting.

From the video I saw the guy with the gun is walking backwards and the crowd is walking towards the guy, theyre shouting that he has a gun and its not worth it. And then one of them tries to rush him and then theres a struggle and several shots go off. Like the protester didnt even come from behind him or his side, he straight up ran towards the psycho with a gun.

Dude is already bailed out, Omaha is the most segregated city in America (actually true), I doubt he does any time.

I saw another comment saying he isn't bailed out yet and hasn't been fully processed but idk, he's rich so maybe he got out.

Anyway his GoFundMe has been taken down and the GoFundMe for the victim is up to like 15k already

Couldn't get a hold of them, but saw on Facebook that he's definitely free and is even standing at The Hive now. Protest just started.

Drove through to assess the damage and it didn't look too terrible. Bunch of broken glass and tons of graffiti but I expected way worse.

Mayor Stothert and the chief of police are about to give a press conference and if they don't announce that Gardner is going to be arrested, I fear for the city tonight.

Just heard that he's actually still in jail. Didn't watch the conference cause the live feed was fucked up for me but apparently the police chief said it.

Drove by the protest outside the Hive and yeah it was completely peaceful. Bunch of people standing with their fist in the air, shouting "justice for James." Even moved aside so a police car could move through.

Protest going on, everyone is 36 minutes past curfew. Were just given a 10 minute warning to vacate or they'll be subject to "police action"

It looks tense as fuck. Fully armed riot police standing in a line ten feet across from a huge crowd of peaceful protestors.

I'm hoping it doesn't get too bad tonight.

Also, got a hold of a guy who did bookings at the jail last night. Almost every single person arrested was a white person from out of state.

Why the fuck dont you say you are examining evidence until the protests blow over?

Come out and plead with the community for witnesses to come forward, delay things.

Worst possible way to handle this.
