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.
