Philadelphia protests turning violent; what's happening in your AOR?

[Diamondback]

I know it's RT.....

Bricks suddenly appear at protests

https://www.rt.com/usa/490444-bricks...-cities-riots/

Also reported at Breitbart, RightScoop and RedState IIRC. Back in the '15 Baltimore riots entire pallets of bricks were being stolen from construction sites and similarly "seeded"...

ETA: Get a load of this... https://godfatherpolitics.com/tell-m...founding-cops/

Garden variety protestors don't have the means or skills to MIJI police comms, just enough to listen in with scanners. This tells me that SOMEBODY is providing them with Gov Grade gear and tech support to operate it... As the criminologists ask, Cui Bono?

Saw a video last night on TV, not sure where it was from, of Cretans assaulting piled-up cars that were blockaded by "peaceful protesters". They were beating on cars and trying to pull people out. THAT is exactly the kind of situation that a PCC or small M4 would be necessary in.

Our 4WD Club had our first business meeting since early March, in the parking lot of a local tavern last night (ate our take-out out there!). SOUTH of the city, but the Allegheny County Police mounted (horse) unit passed me going the opposite direction (toward downtown) - lights & sirens going - so I knew last night's protests were expected to be bigger than Sunday's.

KNOWING that would probably be the case, this was MY "I'm-for-DAMN-sure-getting-home" piece last night.



Battlebelt & chest rig went with me.

The CBP's ("Cracka's Be Protestin'" - BLM farms THAT out to college kids up here ) haven't made it much out of downtown YET... and they didn't LAST night. I live only 4 miles away, but we're ready for 'em.


LAST night's festivities.

TIMELINE: 9 officers injured, 20 people arrested when violence erupted after peaceful protest Monday

PITTSBURGH — Thousands of protesters gathered in Pittsburgh’s East Liberty neighborhood Monday afternoon.

It wasn’t until a few hours later when police said a small group of people split off from the peaceful protest and began to damage businesses in the area. Police said they started to throw rocks and other items at law enforcement, and smoke was thrown after officers gave numerous orders for them to disperse.

Crowds have gathered across the Pittsburgh area the past three days to rally in response to the death of George Floyd in Minnesota. Floyd died while in police custody last week.

UPDATE 11:15 p.m.: Pittsburgh Public Safety Director Wendell Hissrich said nine officers were injured. All officers were evaluated and released from the hospital.

Hissrich said at least four windows were broken, but it doesn’t appear any businesses were looted.

The city I work in, Coeur D' Alene, Idaho had BLM and antifa trucked in from out of town last night. A pile of bricks was dropped off on 4th street, downtown according a customer I have that works at the city streets department. They were met by armed peaceful counter-protesters, and basically everyone said "Not in our town" I'm very proud of everyone over here right now.

Bricks being dropped off, sounds like a place for snipers to take the high ground and wait. Sorry I forgot where I was, it will never happen. But it should!

Once discovered, white dudes with AK and AR's surrounded it, and it became a non-issue. Thankfully.

The little piece of Antifa shits picking up the bricks.

Truck driver was doing his job, his boss is Home Depot, not George Soros

All the people that local Law Enforcement took into custody were from California and Oregon from what I'm being told. They are also planning to come back on Thursday. This time, I will be down there.

I found this interesting bit of information in a Portland Police news release. My wife's office was damaged during this attack.

Shortly before midnight, a group of approximately 100 protestors gathered at Southwest 4th Avenue and Salmon Street. Some of the protesters started throwing projectiles at the officers, including glass bottles and rocks. One officer suffered minor injuries from a thrown projectile. The sound truck notified the group that they were involved in an unlawful assembly and needed to disperse. When they did not, officers used crowd control munitions to disperse them.
During this time, officers observed several vehicles that were moving through the streets with the protestors to provide them with a continual source of supplies. Officers observed one driver handing out items to subjects on foot. Traffic officers stopped that driver, but before they could detain her, she struck multiple vehicles in an effort to elude police. She sped away and the Air Support Unit was able to provide updates on the vehicle location and direction of travel. Spike strips were deployed and the vehicle stopped near Southeast 14th Avenue and Franklin Street. Officers arrested the driver. One officer suffered minor injuries in this incident.

A search of Multnomah County Jail Bookings show this person as having been arrested for crimes that would meet the description in the narrative. She was released on her own recognizance with no bail required for multiple felonies:

It appears she is no longer a brand ambassador for a company called Cacoco

Let me answer: Shoot the truck driver & ESPECIALLY the ones coming to get the bricks.
As a former OTR driver- you're not gonna tell me that in the past few days, seeing what every person in America & most of the world has seen, that a "driver" wouldnt know better than to drop a load of brick or stone or whatever..in a riot zone..nowhere near construction..with no one to sign for it, ..along side a street or on a sidewalk. BULL SHIT. I wouldnt have done it- job be damned. Antifa plans it, buys it, delivers it..and uses it. Dont play stupid- unless you really are.
