The police are fine with the current state of affairs. Everyone shouting at them. Shouting is fine. They can stand there and get shouted at all day. As long as no one charges, they get to chill and collect their checks
Someone is changing "this is what democracy looks like," I can't get away from my least favorite chant no matter where I go
I've said it before: protests are what it looks like when democracy fails
Chant: "Arrest Kate Brown!!"
Door still open. Cops in a mini line just inside, several rows deep
They sure are showing a lot of restraint. Could easily fill the corridor with mace right now. Of course they aren't
"you're heaving birthday parties while you shut us down!"
It's important to understand that they rage is real, and that some of it is extremely legit. There's desperation and fear here because people have no way to survive
"We went to Back the Blue Rallies for 8 months and this is what we get!?"

People who are very chill about the President not committing to the peaceful transfer of power unless they “get rid of the ballots” are too chill for me. This seems an awfully serious thing to be dismissive about. At the very least it’s a good reason to oppose him vigorously.
I love that the same people who assume protesters don’t have jobs are also the people asking why we always have to protest at night 😂
