@001_LDN@BGOnTheScene@oneunderscore__ The organizers did not feel safe holding a CHILDRENS STORYTIME given this group’s history with the lgbt community and habit of coming armed.
for centuries we took for granted that a woman's place was in a lake offering swords to future kings, but now a lady can claim the sword for her own and that's feminism.
Okay y’all, I will admit when I am wrong. There is video of this protester throwing his wooden sign at police and protesters trying to pull him back from police by the legs. https://t.co/dpNlaQHuYK
His prosthetics were BOTH OF HIS LEGS. He fled from police by running on his hands. Tell me how someone’s LEGS could be weaponized enough to justify thst.

@laurennmcc Does anyone know the full story? What was the conflict between the police and the kid that leads to this? I'm sympathetic to the kid, but I gotta ask. What if, just if, the kid used the prosthesis as a weapon to attack the police?
You know what doesn't make sense? Police spraying down and abusing protesters for 'blocking the road' and then...proceeding to block the road to stare down protesters? Got the whole intersection blocked off with cars and riot cops. #ColumbusProtest#ColumbusProtests
Ginthers orders against tear gassing peaceful protesters aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on if police get to decide that civil disobedience is “violent.” @MillieVaughanOH what can be done legally to address this?
@MReenock The police and state troopers showed up and far outnumbered the crowd. Police totally blocked off High St. They started pushing people off the street with their bikes, and when people still wouldn't move, they teargassed them. As far as I could see, all protesters were peaceful.
After assaulting and pepper spraying peaceful protestors, police destroyed the signs we were using to shield ourselves from brutality #BlackLivesMatter#columbusprotest
@Picode4 If you expect civilian protesters to be able to control every single protestor, then I expect well compensated and trained Police to be able to control their own when it comes to not killing black people #columbusprotest#columbusprotests#BlackLivesMatter

If you're going to stand in the road and have the whole thing blocked off...why not just block the road off for the protesters and let them continue peacefully protesting. #columbusprotests#columbusprotest
They were met with resistance. It's not the same thing as violence which is what the police responded with. It's not about 'keeping city streets open' when police continue to stand in the road and block it to stare down protesters. #columbusprotest#columbusprotests
