THEY'RE HOLDING UP SIGNS CHANCE TEAM. LEAVING THEIR TENSE. AND THEN NOW THIS FACE OFF WITH THE POLICE OFFICERS THERE. >> AND REST NUMBER IN THE DOZENS. NOW THAT WE ARE SEVERAL SOURCES ON THE ON THE GROUND THERE AND JUST A LEAVING FOLKS OFF AND OUT OF THERE. WE HAVEN'T SEEN ALL THAT. WE'VE SEEN TAKE DOWNS AND AND ZIP TIED SITUATIONS AND AND POLICE A LEADING SOME OF THE FOLKS OFF. THEY'RE THEY'RE IN DOUBLE FIGURES NOW, ACCORDING TO SOME WHO ARE ON THE SCENE RIGHT THERE, LETTING US KNOW, MAKING STATEMENTS ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE AND IT'S PARKED RIGHT AT 6 O'CLOCK. POLICE SHOWED UP AND JUST TO. STARTED ROASTING THIS WHOLE AREA WHERE THIS. THE PROTEST WAS TAKING PLACE.

WENT OUT WHO THE ENCAMPMENT END. THE CONFRONTATION BEGAN WITH THESE PROTESTERS AND THESE PROTESTERS CHANTING NOT HEARING ANY MORE SOUND. NO, NO, I'M NOT EITHER. AND I DON'T KNOW IF WE LOST OUR AUDIO.
