I was out at the protest in Richmond. Police fucking gassed us as we were peacefully protesting well before curfew.

They attacked citizens exercising their rights. I know I sound like a conspiracy theorist, but I was there. Canisters shot, we were chased. Video

If you still support the police, you're delusional.

First shot. (twitter.com)

RPD: sorry we had to gas you, some cops got scared. -- nm - colin Jun 1, 18:04 1

Teargas is a lot worse than they portray on television isn't it? Fucking nasty stuff! - Bacon Jun 1, 18:02 2
- We were prepared. Didn't plan on this, but we had supplies. -- nm - colin Jun 1, 18:06 1
  - Prepared is good. You have a crazy life story to tell now and in the future -- nm - Bacon Jun 1, 18:10
that's nuts. -- nm - loosilu Jun 1, 17:59
You don't sound like a conspiracy theorist, we've seen it happen repeatedly in the past several days, sometimes on live TV. - ty97 Jun 1, 17:56 1
- I'm glad it did. This puts things in clear perspective. -- nm - colin Jun 1, 18:03
That doesn't sound like a conspiracy theory. Everyone is reporting this. Be safe, man. -- nm - Mop Jun 1, 17:55
Police reform has just skyrocketed to a top three issue in the election...which isn't easy in a pandemic/collapsed economy. -- nm - David Jun 1, 17:49 16
- It's only been 4 months since Trump was tried for impeachment. 5 months to go to election. - Max Jun 1, 17:56
- They trotted out lies in response ... CRB is fake. Mental health alerts were never put in place. - colin Jun 1, 17:53 14
  - This is why I'm not hopeful. Baltimore had a Dem mayor when Freddie Gray was killed. A black man was president when Trayvon et al were killed. - Max Jun 1, 18:03
  - Can you tell I'm angry? -- nm - colin Jun 1, 17:53 12
    - We all should be, my friend. But I'm proud of you for going to an event. -- nm - David Jun 1, 17:58 11
      - I've been torn. I'd like to go to one of the daytime peaceful events, but COVID. -- nm - ty97 Jun 1, 18:00 10
        
        I hear you. If Kim or I got COVID, it would be alarming given our asthma and medical histories. -- nm - David Jun 1, 18:04 4
        
        Donate! -- nm - colin Jun 1, 18:16 1
        
        I have a running thing right now where if Joe asks for money, I send some. - David Jun 1, 18:23
        
        I'm a smoker, I'm fat, I'm coughcough years old - ty97 Jun 1, 18:15 1
        
        ooh, ask them for a sleep study -- nm - Max Jun 1, 18:16
        
        We felt it was worth risk. We've been safe, we're not a threat, only risk is on us. -- nm - colin Jun 1, 18:02 2
        
        Yeah, it's a calculated risk one can take (see back boards, I'm trying to go to see my elderly parents so....not taking chances) -- nm - ty97 Jun 1, 18:03 1
        
        If you can't go out, give money. It helps. Almost 300 arrested here last night. -- nm - colin Jun 1, 18:07
        
        I believe the point is that there kind of aren’t any daytime peaceful events because the police are making them non-peaceful even during the day. -- nm - Qale Jun 1, 18:01 1
        
        Perhaps it's getting to that point, but the daytime stuff here has previously been peaceful from what I've seen (not sure about today) -- nm - ty97 Jun 1, 18:02
