CURFEW.
CURFEW. >> WE WANT TO POINT THIS OUT.
THIS IS RON JONES.
WE WANT TO POINT THIS OUT.
ON THE RIGHT HAND OF YOUR
SCREEN YOU CAN SEE THE
PROTESTERS HAVE SET UP A
BARRICADE TO TRY TO BLOCK THE
OFFICERS FROM APPROACHING.
ALSO YOU HAVE THE NATIONAL
GUARD.
GUARD.
GUARD. IT
GUARD. IT APPEARS IF THE CHOPPER I
MOVE OUT, IT APPEARS TO BE
THERE SOME ARMORED VEHICLE THAT
WILL HAVE TO PUSH ITS WAY
THROUGH.
THROUGH.
THROUGH. THOSE WHO ARE THE AGITATORS --
>> THEY ARE GONE.
>> THERE USING A BARRICADE TO
STOP THEM.
STOP THEM. >> WE ARE LOOKING AT THAT
TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS
GOING ON.
GOING ON.
GOING ON. WE DO NOTE THAT SKIRMISH LINE
HAD BEEN SEVERAL BLOCKS BACK
WITH A HAVE BEEN FOR MUCH OF
THE DAY UNTIL RECENTLY.
THEN WE STARTED TO SEE THEM
COME DOWN THE STREET.
WE WANT TO MENTION THAT
CENTENNIAL OLYMPIC PARK HAS
BEEN CLOSED.
BEEN CLOSED. IT LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE GATHERING
AND GRABBING ANYTHING.
THEY ARE MOVING ANOTHER PORTA
POTTY. A LOT OF FOLKS ARE
RUNNING.
RUNNING.
RUNNING. WE'RE SEEING THINGS BEING
THROWN.
THROWN.
THROWN. FIRECRACKERS LIGHTING UP ACROSS
THAT ROAD THERE.
THIS HAS SHIFTED QUITE A BIT.
>> IT'S LIKE BUILDING A
BARRICADE IN ANTICIPATION OF A
STANDOFF AS THAT GROUP OF
POLICE OFFICERS MOVED DOWN THE
ROAD.
ROAD.
ROAD. >>
ROAD. >> PULLING ANYTHING THEY CAN.
WE KNOW --
>> THIS WILL MAKE IT -- THIS
WILL MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR THE
OFFICERS IF YOU HAVE A
BARRICADE WE HAVE THE AGITATORS
OR PROTESTERS WHO ARE CONCEALING
THEMSELVES BEHIND THAT.
NOW THE OFFICERS HAVE TO FIGURE
OUT WHO IS THROWING WHAT AND
WHERE IT'S COMING FROM AS THEY
APPROACH THAT BARRICADE.
WE'VE SEEN MANY TIMES BEFORE
AND HOPEFULLY IT DOESN'T HAPPEN
WHERE SOMEONE WILL GRAB -- AS
YOU CAN SEE THEY ARE GRABBING
THINGS FROM THIS CONSTRUCTION
SITE.
SITE.
SITE. THEY WILL TRY TO SET A FIRE TO
INCREASE THAT BARRICADE AND
INCREASE THAT DISTANCE BETWEEN
THEM AND THE POLICE OFFICERS.
THEY ARE RIPPING EVERYTHING
FROM THE CONSTRUCTION SITE
TRYING TO GET IT IN FRONT OF
THE OFFICERS TO PREVENT THEM
FROM APPROACHING. EVENTUALLY
WHEN WE PULL OUT WHITE WE WILL
SEE THIS ARMORED VEHICLE.
>> IT APPEARS THE CROWD THAT IS
BACK THERE BEHIND THIS
MAKESHIFT BARRICADE IS THROWING
THINGS AS WELL.
WE DON'T SEE THE OFFICERS OR
LAW ENFORCEMENT PRESIDENT ON
THE OTHER SIDE. THEY ARE
THROWING THINGS.
THROWING THINGS. THEY ARE GOING INTO THAT
CONSTRUCTION AREA AND REMOVING
ANYTHING FROM THAT AREA. THERE
ARE SEVERAL PORTA POTTIES THAT
HAVE BEEN PLACED ON THEIR SIDES
THAT HAVE BEEN DRUGGED OVER IN
ADDITION TO PARTITIONS THAT
WERE MEANT TO KEEP PEOPLE OUT
OF THE CONSTRUCTION SITE.
STREETLIGHTS HAVE COME ON.
WE ARE 20 MINUTES AWAY FROM THE
CURFEW IN THE CITY OF ATLANTA.
THE SITUATION HAS BEEN
DETERIORATING OVER THE LAST FEW
MOMENTS.
MOMENTS.
MOMENTS. >> MAY BE THAT DILEMMA FOR THE
PROTESTERS --
PROTESTERS -- >> GO AHEAD RON.
WE WANT TO HEAR YOUR
PERSPECTIVE.
PERSPECTIVE. >> THIS MAY BE A DILEMMA FOR
THE PROTESTERS AND WHAT THEY
ARE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH BY
SETTING UP A BARRIER.
I'M QUITE SURE WHOEVER IS IN
THE COMMAND CENTER ALREADY KNOW
WHAT IS TAKING PLACE.
THERE MAYBE SOME OTHER
OFFICERS, NATIONAL GUARDS AND
PERSONNEL THAT MAY COME FROM
THE REAR OF THAT BARRICADE.
