OF THE CROWD IN THE TEAR GAS
THAT’S BEING THROWN

GO HOME WE ARE RUNNING FOR
COVER AS WELL AS THEY’RE
RUNNING
TOWARD US AND BECAUSE THERE’S A
LOT OF PROFANITY GOING ON WE’RE
KEEPING OURSELVES AWAY FROM
THEM AS WELL SO WE DON’T CATCH
THAT
ON AIR.
WE DO WANT TO TALK ABOUT HER
EXPERIENCE WITH THE TEAR GAS IS
BECAUSE YOU KNOW IT JUST WAS
TALKING ABOUT BEING IN
THE CROWD.
AS THE CROWD WENT TO PROGRESS
UP
THE STREET TOWARDS POLICE WE
WERE THERE TO SEE THE LINES
START FORMING AND POLICE WERE
TELLING OR STARTING TO FORM THE
LINE AND THERE WERE
PROTESTERS WHO WE’RE JUST GOING
TO WALK AROUND THE POLICE
OFFICERS.
IT WAS JUST A
FEW PEOPLE WHO BEGAN TO AGITATE
THE POLICE.
ONCE THEY STARTED DOING THAT POLICE RISK CALLING WE’RE GETTING
THEIR WARNINGS TO TELL PEOPLE
TO BACK AWAY.
PEOPLE WERE THROWING WATER
BOTTLES EVEN
FIRE WORKS.
AT THE POLICE OFFICERS THEN
THERE WERE PEOPLE THERE WHO
WOULD TELLING THEM DON’T DO
THAT DON’T DO THAT THIS IS
SUPPOSED TO BE A
PEACEFUL PROTEST.
THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A
PEACEFUL PROTEST, BUT THERE
THERE THERE WERE PEOPLE WHO ARE
LISTENING AND SO THAT’S WHEN
THE TEAR
GAS CAME AND WHEN THEY DID COME
WE WILL SAY WE GOT CAUGHT UP IN
THEM THAT IT WAS SCARY FOR BOTH
MYSELF AND OUR PHOTOGRAPHER
JEFF
HERS AND I KNOW JUST GET CAUGHT
A LITTLE BIT WIND OF IT AT THE
BEGINNING AND WE WERE TALKING
TO EACH OTHER ON THE PHONE.
BUT AT ONE MINUTE WE THE
FEELING OF THE TEAR GAS
FOR US HERE THOUGH THAT MORE OF
THAT POPPING SOUND THAT’S MORE
TEAR GAS THERE THEY’RE
DEPLOYING OUT THERE.
BUT FIRST AND THAT’S WHAT WE
DO WANT TO MENTION SEE THERE’S
LIVE HERE THAT IS BEING FIRED
RIGHT NOW TRYING TO DISPERSE
THE CROWDS.
THEY’VE HAD MULTIPLE WARNINGS
TELLING PEOPLE NOT TO GO HOME.
>>AND SO THEY’RE DOING THESE
OTHER STRATEGIES EMPLOYING
THESE OTHER TACTICS
THAT RIGHT WELL TO GET OUT OF
THIS AREA
SO JESSICA HELLO HERE WE ARE
HERE YOU CAN SEE THEY JUST
FIRED TEAR GAS AGAIN YOU CAN
SEE THAT RIGHT NOW WHERE WE’RE
SEEING THAT ON THE ERRORS ARE
GO AHEAD JOHN AND YOU ARE
SEEING THAT ON THE AIR WE’RE
SEEING POLICE SAID ONE END OF
THE STREET AND THAT WE’RE
SEEING THE PROTESTERS.
>>ARE YOU ABLE TO TELL IF THE
CROWD IS IN FACT JUST PERCENT
AND THEY JUST BACKING OFF.
IT IS A CROWDED IT IS SIGNIFICANTLY PEOPLE ARE COMING INTO THESE
PARKING LOTS WHERE WE ARE RIGHT
NOW, YES, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE A
LOT OF PEOPLE ARE FINALLY
GETTING THE MESSAGE AND TRYING
TO GET OUT OF THIS AREA RIGHT
AND IT’S AND IT’S QUIET NOW A
LOT OF THOSE PEOPLE IT IS NOT
AS LOUD AS YOU IT WAS EARLIER
IF YOU COULD EVEN HEAR PEOPLE
IN
OUR BACKGROUND.
>>IT’S A LOT MORE QUIET MIGHT
BE A FEW PEOPLE STILL LINGERING
RIGHT NOW, BUT EVERYONE IS
GETTING THE MESSAGE TOO TO
GO HOME TO THE PROTESTERS GET INTO HAVE AN AGENDA TONIGHT IN TERMS OF
TRYING TO GET SOMEWHERE MAYBE
THE RESTAURANT OR THE.
>>AUTO DEALERSHIP THAT WAS
VANDALIZED
LAST NIGHT OR WAS IT JUST A
SENSE OF ONLINE WE DIDN’T RULE
IN US.
>>SO WE DO WANT TO MENTION THAT THERE A LOT OF POLICE
OFFICERS IN THIS
AREA 60 TO 70 STATE POLICE
OFFICERS OTHER AGENCIES THEY
WERE BLOCKING OFF ALL OF THAT
ACCESS TO DOWNTOWN SO NO ONE
WAS GETTING IN THAT AREA THEY
CLOSE THAT ALL DOWN TO TRAFFIC.
SO THEY HAD TO TAKE SOME
DIFFERENT ROUTES IN THIS AREA
THAT WE KIND
OF MENTIONED EARLIER ON IN THIS
KIND OF SOME OF THE SAME
MESSAGE IS THAT WE HAVE HEARD
BEFORE SAID THE MESSAGE WE’VE
HEARD
YOU KNOW ECHOING AROUND THE
COUNTRY RIGHT
RIGHT N AND THAT THAT WAS THE
MESSAGE FOR TODAY FOR MOST
PEOPLE ANYWAY WAS TO TALK ABOUT
WHAT’S GOING ON IN
MINNEAPOLIS BUT.
>>UNFORTUNATELY THAT MESSAGE
GOT LOST BY A FEW PEOPLE WHO
DID NOT WANT TO LISTEN, I’M
EVEN
AT THE TOWARDS THE TOWARDS THE
TOP OF THE STREET HERE WHERE
YOU’RE LOOKING WHERE THE
OFFICERS MIGHT BE WALKING BACK
TOWARDS THAT WAY
WHEN PEOPLE GOT UP THERE AND
THEY WANTED TO KEEP WALKING
KEEP PROTESTING IT WAS A FEW
PEOPLE WHO WERE THROWING WATER
BOTTLES AT THE
POLICE LINE AND THEN THERE WERE
OTHERS WHO WERE TELLING THEM
DON’T DO THAT WE’RE NOT HERE
FOR THAT.
WHY ARE YOU THROWING WATER
BOTTLES THE SITE TO SEE THE
FIREWORKS AND IN THE TEAR GAS
IS CAME PEOPLE DISPERSE IT WAS
NOT A GOOD EXPERIENCE.
AND UNFORTUNATELY SOMETHING
THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO
BE PEACEFUL TURNED OUT THIS WAY
AND IT WASN’T SUPPOSED TO BE I
MEAN I WAS HERE AT 6 O’CLOCK
AND SPEAKING TO THE PEOPLE WHO
WERE HERE. THEY SAID THEIR PLAN WAS TO BE PEACEFUL A LOT OF THEM DIDN’T
AGREE WITH WHAT HAPPENED TO FIT
IN FEDERAL YESTERDAY THAT WAS
NOT
THEIR PLAN.
BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY IT
WAS TO GET THE MESSAGE ACROSS
BUT WITH WHAT EVERYONE ELSE IN
HIS COUNTRY
WANTS TO DO AND THAT’S BECAUSE
OF WHAT HAPPENED IN MINNEAPOLIS
TO AND THEIR MESSAGE WAS TO NOT
FORGET THE NAME
GEORGE FLOYD AND ALSO TO RAISE AWARENESS TO WHAT HAVE OR TO THE TWEET THAT I’M FIT AND
FEDERAL DID BUT AT THE SAME
TIME DON’T FORGET WHAT’S
GOING ON IN MINNEAPOLIS AND NOT
TO FORGET GEORGE FLOYD’S NAME
SO THAT WAS THE MESSAGE AND
UNFORTUNATELY, A FEW PEOPLE
ACTED OUT
OF CHARACTER
AND IT IT LOST THE MESSAGE WAS
LOST TODAY HERE IN LATE TONIGHT
HERE IN THAT WHAT WE CALL YOU
WANT TO GET INTO ITS CURRENT
READING LCPS GETTING THAT
MESSAGE YOU MENTIONED
THE OWNERS IN CROWDS TO SUE
PEOPLE ARE GOING HOME AND THAT
IS GOOD NEWS, YEAH, THEY’RE
GOING HOME BECAUSE OF THE TEAR
GAS IS THAT I MEAN THAT’S WHAT
IT APPEARS ON ON THE SCREEN
RIGHT NOW IS THAT YOUR SENSE
ALSO.
>>YEAH THAT YES, YOU KNOW, THE HOLY STARTED WITH.
OVER THE LOUDSPEAKER TELLING
THE CROWD THAT THEY NEEDED TO
GO HOME LYNCHBURG POLICE
ORDERING THEM TO DISPERSE
UNLAWFUL ASSEMBLY.
>>AND BRINGING THAT LINE
FORWARD TO POLICE OFFICERS AND
THEN FIRING OFF THAT TEAR GAS
AND THAT’S WHAT SEEMED TO
REALLY BE THE MOST EFFECTIVE.
YES, YES.
IT IS JUST AS ALREADY SAID A
LOT OF IT WAS THAT WARNING TO
YOU COULD HEAR
ONCE THE.
>>ONCE THE SWAT CARS CAME OUT
WHEN THE LINES ARE WHEN THE
CROWD STARTED
WALKING UP.
YOU SEE I’M FROM THE FROM THE
LEFT OR RIGHT SIDE OF THE
STREET, THE THEIR CAT
CAME OUT, DIRECTING THE CROWD
TO STAY AWAY FROM THE POLICE
LINE AND THEY
DID THAT A
MAN AND A VISIT TO THE COMMAND
EVERYTHING SOME OF THE FLOODED
ANYWAY.
YEAH, THE BEAR CAT IS THE BIG
STAGE RIGHT IS THE BIG STATE
POLICE WHO THE ARMORED VEHICLE.
>>EXACTLY AND AND WHEN I DID SPEAK SOME MEMBERS OF THE POLICE’S
TACTICAL TEAM TODAY THEY TOLD
ME THEY CALLED VIRGINIA STATE
POLICE FOR HELP.
YOU KNOW TO TO HELP THEM OUT
TONIGHT, THEY DIDN’T KNOW WHAT
THEY WERE GOING TO EXPECT
HONESTLY WHEN I TOLD THEM I
SAID YOU KNOW TO HAVE ALL THESE
OFFICERS HERE
DO YOU HAVE A FEELING THAT
PEOPLE WILL MAKE THEIR WAY BACK
DOWN TO 5TH IN FEDERAL AND SEE
A
NOTHER ROUND OF THIS
HAPPENING AGAIN, AND THEY SAID
THEY’RE THEY’RE NOT SURE THEY
WERE NOT SURE WHAT TO EXPECT
TONIGHT
I WANTED TO BE
READY.
BUT THERE WAS A SENSE LESS
SHOWING ONE SHOT.
I THINK THERE WAS A LAUNCH LAST
NIGHT THAT THE POLICE DID NOT
ANTICIPATE
THE LARGE.
>>THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO
WOULD BE TURNING OUT AND SO
TONIGHT THEY WANTED TO BE
DOUBLY PREPARED IS THAT FAIR.
>>IT’S SAID THEY WERE MUCH BETTER PREPARED TONIGHT TO A NUMBERS OF LAW
ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS WERE MUCH
HIGHER TONIGHT, THEY HAD MORE
RIGHT HERE.
IT SEEMS
LIKE THEY HAD A MUCH BETTER
IDEA OF WHAT TO EXPECT OR WHAT
TO BE PREPARED FOR LIFTOFF OF
LAST NIGHT THE OCULUS WE I MEAN
EVEN IT.
>>WELL IT’S GOING TO I KNOW THAT THAT JEFF PRESENT OUR PHOTOGRAPHER GOT A PRETTY
HEALTHY DOSE OF TEAR GAS WHEN
HE WAS GETTING SOME OF THESE
IMAGES THAT OUR VIEWERS ARE
SEEING WAS THAT WAS THAT
TRUE FOR.
ALL 4 OF YOU WERE DID JEFF GET
THE WORST OF IT THEY’RE GOOD
WHAT WAS THAT LIKE YEAH, SO.
>>WE
WERE ALL WE ALL GOT TO AT ONE
ABDULLAH AND JEFFERS AND WE’RE UP FURTHER TOWARDS THE POLICE AND WHERE
THEY WERE FIRING THE TEAR GAS
AND I SAW JEFFERS AND DROPPED
TO HIS KNEES AND HE FOUND A
WATER BOTTLE.
>>YEAH GOT IT GAVE IT TO MADLA
AND THEY MOVED
ON YEAH REALLY THERE’S JUST AN
INCREDIBLE TEAM WORK OUT HERE
TONIGHT BECAUSE THAT WAS A
PAINFUL EXPERIENCE FOR A VERY
VERY PAINFUL AND I CAN SAY AT
LEAST FOR JEFF
AND I AT LEAST AT LEAST FOR AT
LEAST FOR JEFF AN EYE IT WAS IT
WAS A VERY VERY TOUGH
EXPERIENCE.
I WILL SAY THAT
FOR THE BOTH OF US WE
WERE AT WE’RE IN THE MIDDLE OF
THE TEAR GAS
AND SO YOU KNOW I’M GOING TO BE
GRAPHIC A LITTLE BIT IT
WAS TOUGH TO EXPERIENCE MY EYES
ARE BURNING, I COULDN’T SEE I
COULD NOT BREED.
I WAS THROWING UP AND I
FELT LIKE THROWING UP WAS THE
ONLY WAY I WAS GOING TO FEEL
LIKE I WAS GOING TO LIKE GAINED
CONSCIOUSNESS

CALLING FOR JEFF 1000 JEFFREY

HALF
WATER BOTTLE.
IT’S SOMEWHERE IN THE GRASS AND
I’M NOT SURE IF YOU CAN
TELL, BUT SOME OF MY MAKEUP AND
I HAVE RUN OFF WATER LIKE MY
MAKEUP IS RUN OFF NOW BECAUSE I
HAD TO THROW WATER ON MY FACE SO I CAN SEE AGAIN AND EVEN IN THE MIDDLE OF ALL OF THAT I’M
CALLING JESSICA TO ASK WHERE IS

SHE OKAY AND SHE’S TRYING TO
TALK TO ME AND I’M LIKE I CAN’T
BREATHE I
CAN’T TALK RIGHT NOW, YOU KNOW
AND YOU’RE CALLING ME BACK AND
I JUST GOT KIDS GOING OUT YET
WE ARE TRYING TO KEEP TRACK OF
EACH OTHER THIS WHOLE TIME THAT
WE COULDN’T BREATHE IT WAS SO
DIFFICULT TO READ IT IS
DIFFICULT TO TRYING TO.
>>WE GO
INTO THAT THE THICK OF IT
REALLY JUST SO WE COULD WRITE
EACH OTHER AND KEEP UP WITH
EACH OTHER, BUT THAT WAS JUST
MAKING IT WORSE.
IT WAS
REALLY DOES KIND OF A
TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE VERY
WE’RE ALL GOING THROUGH YEAH,
BUT FORTUNATELY
SEEMS THING THINGS SEEMED TO
CALM DOWN FOR THE EVENING.
I HOPE THAT THINGS ARE VERY
CALM DOWN DURING A A A LIVE
REPORT RIGHT NOW FROM OUR OWN
THAT LOOSENED IN JUST
A JEWEL.
>>WHO HAVE BEEN COVERING
PROTESTS IF YOU WILL AND I DON’T KNOW. I’D SAY LAST NIGHT WAS A RIOT,
THIS WAS A LITTLE BIT LESS THAN
THAT.
BUT CERTAINLY WITH LARGER
POLICE PRESENCE
THERE TONIGHT AND THE POLICE
SEEM TO BE ABLE TO CONTAIN THIS
CROWD WHICH WAS CERTAINLY
UNRULY
AND THEN WE’VE JUST BEEN
LISTENING YOU GUYS
DESCRIBE YEAR.
YOU’RE ABOUT WITH THE TEAR GAS

VEHICLES AND WE’VE BEEN

FACEBOOK PAGE
TONIGHT SO SOME VIEWERS I WAS
QUITE A LARGE NUMBER WHO ARE
WATCHING ACCORDING TO THE DATA

THE THICK
OF IT.
SO IF OUR VIEWERS ARE JUST
TUNING IN RIGHT NOW WE WANT TO
GIVE THEM AN IDEA WHAT THEY’RE
SEEING RIGHT NOW I WOULD SAY
THAT
IT APPEARS BASED UPON THE VIDEO
THAT WE ARE ABLE
TO GET THE CROWD HAS
DISPERSED AND IT’S BEEN AS A
RESULT OF
THE POLICE FIRING TEAR GAS INTO
A
CROWD THAT WE WERE ESTIMATING
IN THE NEWS FROM SOMEWHERE
MAYBE BETWEEN
2 300 PEOPLE THAT’S AN AMATEUR
ASKED MIDDLE PUT THAT OUT THERE
