DIFFERENT STORY AGAIN AS THEY
HAVE BEEN ADVANCING TOWARD THE
PROTESTERS.

AT CENTENNIAL AND MARIETTA AND
OVER MY LEFT AN OVER THE
SHOULDER YOU CAN SEE THE LINE
OF THE GEORGIA NATIONAL GUARD'S

AGO.
AGO. WE
AGO. WE SAW SMALL GROUP OF
PROTESTERS THAT APPEAR TO BE
PROTESTERS OR ABOUT 10 OR 15 OF
THEM WALKED UP TO THIS LINE AND
TO NATIONAL GUARD MEMBERS
WALKED FORWARD AND WE COULD NOT
MAKE OUT EXACTLY WHAT THEY WERE
SAYING AND THEY WERE HAVING A
NORMAL CONVERSATION AND THEY
MOTIONED FOR THEM TO GO HOME
AND GO ON THE OTHER DIRECTION
AND THAT GROUP, THEY FOLLOW THE
ORDERS AND THEY LEFT.
THIS INTERSECTION HERE FOR
SEVERAL HOURS TONIGHT THIS IS
WHERE WITH THE HUNDREDS OF
PEOPLE PROTESTING RIGHT IN THE
FACE OF THE LINE OF ATLANTA
POLICE HERE AT THE CORNER OF
MARIETTA AND CENTENNIAL AND
ABOUT 15 OR 20 MINUTES FOR THE
TOP OF THE HOUR ALL OF THE
SUDDEN THE POLICE LINE QUICKLY
ADVANCED FORWARD AND THAT IS
WHEN THEY CLEARED OUT OF THIS
INTERSECTION AND RIGHT BEHIND
THE POLICE THIS ROW OF HUMVEES
FROM THE GEORGIA NATIONAL GUARD
AND THEY ARE NOW BLOCKING OF
THIS INTERSECTION COMPLETE THE
END AS YOU CAN SEE THERE ARE NO
PROTESTERS HERE AND ONLY
MEMBERS OF THE MEDIA AND POLICE
IN THE NATIONAL GUARD BUT FOR
HOURS ON END THIS IS WHERE THE
PROTEST FOR THE MOST PART WAS
CENTERED TONIGHT AND AT TIMES
THE GROUP WOULD SPLIT OFF AND
GO DOWN FOR THE STATE
AND MAYBE ABOUT AN HOUR OR HOUR
AND A HALF AGO AND THAT IS WHEN
THE CROWD STAYED FOR A FEW
MINUTES AND HEADED BACK THIS
WAY AND HOPE FOR REPORTED
EARLIER LIVE WHEN SHE WAS THERE
AROUND 8:40 IS ONE TEARGAS WAS
SHOT AROUND THIS
SOME OF THE CROWD AT THAT TIME
SEND OUT AND WE WALKED BACK
FROM THE CAPITAL.
WE SAW SMALL GROUPS OF TWO OR
THREE PEOPLE WALKING AND GOING
BACK HOME OR TO THEIR CARS BUT
THERE WERE PEOPLE SAYING I WAS
TEARGAS DID YOU CAN SEE IT IN
THEIR EYES AND THE TEARS FROM
THAT BEING THROWN OUT TONIGHT.
MUCH EARLIER THAN THE PREVIOUS
EVENING THIS INTERSECTION HERE
IS CLEAR AND CALM AND WE HAVE
NOT SEEN ANY ARRESTS HERE
UNLIKE HOPE WAS DESCRIBING
FURTHER OFF THE ROAD NEAR
LUCKIE STREET.

BEEN PUSHED INTO ONE PARTICULAR
AREA AND IT IS WORK TONIGHT.

HANGING AROUND FOR A FEW
MINUTES AND YELLING BACK AT THE
NATIONAL GUARD AND THE POLICE
THAT IT NEVER BECAME PHYSICAL.
WE DID NOT SEE REALLY ANYTHING
PERSONALLY BEING THROWN AT THE
POLICE OFFICER SO THEY STOOD
THERE FOR A SECOND AND MAYBE
THEY YELLED SOMETHING OR THEY
