And an internal investigation was announced by the United States Marshals Service. They are to be lauded for what they said, but words are not enough. As a lawyer, as a defense attorney as a person who began his career as a prosecutor in Brooklyn, New York, I say. after looking at those videos we need to invoke the criminal law. Mike Smith, who will be taking office as district attorney in Multnomah County in the building across the Street and then in the new ones on the River. should take a look should convene a Grand jury. Billy Williams, the US attorney who works in this building should convene a Grand jury. Yeah, it is not enough to allow an internal investigation by one of the federal law enforcement agencies to conduct an investigation and then say, Oh, okay we. As with the law enforcement officers who killed George Floyd nothing in the law immunizations federal agents in Portland from criminal prosecution. there's an obligation as I see it on the chief law enforcement officers, the district attorney and the United States Attorney to act if crimes have been committed the rule of law that to which I've given my life can only be vindicated. And we can all only be kept safe if indictments are wrong. Violence. we have seen some of us have felt a lot of violence we all need to bear in mind. I say that violence begets violence and we should all be asking. who wants the violence that we are seeing here in Portland, who does it benefit Does it benefit the Black Lives Matter movement? Does it benefit Antifa does? White supremacists Does it benefit Donald Trump? and we need to ask that question. as we leave here this peaceful protest and think about it What happens in Portland at night and who is actually benefiting from that. Here this peaceful protest. and think about what happens in Portland at night and who is actually benefiting from that. every elected official. Every community advocate to urge our local prosecutors to make clear that lawless behavior whether by violent protesters and by those charged with enforcing the law will be addressed under the rule of law. Thanks for being here. Keep your voices strong. I stand before you today humbly with his colleagues of mine. who've been at the courthouse many times in the last 20 years. 30 years, 40 years. I think the doctors Haynes our colleagues with the AMA Coalition for Justice and police reform Doctor Leroy Haynes Joyce Harris. Dwayne Hardesty, who are lawyers alls We've been in this courthouse many times on police reform as the city is trying to get out of doing anything to trade. I'm Reverend Doctor Mark Pastor of a Lutheran Church in Northeast Portland and Multicultural multinational sanctuary congregation of Justice seekers and Peacemakers who are responsible to give ourselves away. 21 nation is the first birth outside of this country and 30 -day Tribal Nations represented in our Humbly because Wife and I live 40 years ago in Portland we live in the country, but we met 40 years ago. She comes from a strong african-american family that grew up on thirteenth and wagons our son at 28 is studying economics because he knows there's still an uncashed check in this country for black and Brown people. Cast and honor 18 and nephews that african-american southern White they've been helping to organize in March and I've been enough March to see their peaceful. They're strong and they're gonna change the station where the moment of time a moment where we cannot stop. To the ones back in DC, I can't really make it cuz I just don't have. Isaiah and the prophets of God shall judge to many people that arbitrage amongst Nations far away, they shall beat their swords and the plows their spirits and the pruning hooks I might add their ARs and their shields and other weapons into into things that can be used for usefulness. They should not lift up sword against nation. Neither shall we study war anymore, But he said that everyone should live under their own victory and Vine and no one should make them afraid. 12 million. Are afraid of being deported this country our indigenous sisters and brothers have been afraid of genocide since people stepped on this country from Europe African-american is a slave for over 400 years because he was slavery change. Jim Crow Prison systems. for faith leaders and other people of good will to stand out here. This is not new to us. Muslim and Jew, Hindu and Buddhist Native American spiritual leaders Christians, Other people of faith and people just goodwill who refused to give up. I am so proud of all the young people marching and all the black and Brown leaders who have taken the lead who are called upon everybody to get up and merge. Because violence begets violence, I did my first marches as a child, My mom took him in here, Stokley Carmichael and I had to start marching. I heard the vice President to be who was doing a lot in order stick and I found out those who preached law and order. I always break the laws they should be in prison. when we talk about indictments, let's get back to DC and do some more of that. Too often violence, we have to denounce. I'm wearing my yellow mask today because about four months ago, we gathered with young black and black and Brown leaders at Dylan South North High School who said we have to end violence so let's all start wearing yellow on Fridays. these young leaders are calling for violence and then but too often. divides we've gathered to stand against it of course, find us the LGBTQ community violence against immigrants, violence and black and black and Brown people. But the We saw often have to stand against is that by this nation. the violence perpetrated by the governments. the violence perpetrated by a police forces that were built on racist White supremacy ideologies. I'm supposed to take no more than five minutes and I'm about three and a half months. so I sound like colleagues to demand the federal federal troops agents and provoke a tears deployed by this corrupt this corrosive this cowardly environment government be removed from the city and state now. As a sanctuary congregation since 1996, when Francisco, a Gary moved in for three months to be housed, not to be deported Homeland Security Circle our church every day in unmarked vehicles. We know the fear they caused that they're ready to snatch him if he got anywhere outside that church and we know that's going on right now in the city against black and Brown people. I must stop this very moment these agents have committed violence against peaceful protesters. Who have every constitutional right to protest so keep on protesting? But to everyone in this nation of every background is your moral obligation to protest against something that is so evil in this land. 400 years of slavery, genocide White supremacist ideology and White privilege and institutions built on that they cannot stand nope. They must be changed and transformed and taken down and new things done in terms of community health and well-being to this administration back in Washington, DC, you do not matter. Black Lives matter. You do not matter Black lives matter. Who would deploy troops against your own people you would wave a Bible in front of a church, and you don't even know what's in it because if you knew what was in it Mister. if you know I was in a mister Trump, I'll say a name of course if you do Hosanna, you know that God gets angry when leaders trample on people you will know that God calls leaders who are corrupt and doing evil things against people are called to render. So to put on to get that on their knees in the square and Beg for forgiveness and mercy and mister President if you don't have any sack available to the other leaders of this land who are not acting, I know a lot of friends, Jewish and Muslim, and then to a book we got sack for you. We'll help you Strip down get on your knees and now let's work for a new day, you know, Micah said. Everyone should be able to sit on buying in. I don't they're afraid of, but you know what my goals said. To Justice love kindness will come to the God and with one another Let's do Justice. Let's do Justice. Let's do Justice bless you all. Thank you. Need to stop lying to other people. They're not even here at night. Why Y'all we need Y'all. somebody like Paul's leaders who are corrupt and doing evil things against people are called to render all y'all look around. You've got a masses on to stop this pandemic. What else do I have to stop this bigotry and racism that can't be done. And I'm the President of Portland. Theresa is also. And I just wanna say I didn't come here to listen to a sermon. There's no fucking. There's no such thing as fucking peaceful protest. that is an exercise that is an exercise in all lives matter bullshit. and it's not gonna stand. There is no peaceful protest. Okay, you're speaking to a new generation so we need to talk like it. He's a fucking protest. Just like all of y'all, we know this has been happening for the past 59 the only difference is that you are finally paying attention. This violence has been happening against us every night and before the George Floyd PB has a major fucking problem with White supre. Assay if you want to know the problem it lies in the city of Portland, this is exactly what they want and. You cannot condemn the actions of Donald Trump's federal troops when you didn't denounce the actions of PB. And what did you do? You can continue. I've seen the live streams people's mouths getting snatched up and tear gas straight in the face I've seen the bands rolling out rolling up and taking people. talking about for the people where y'all when we need Y'all. Killing us we need more than statements we need fucking change and we can only do so much as a non-profit Organization, but our elected officials you'll have that power for a reason. As much as you. A peaceful protest Thank Afternoon. My name is David Anthony and I'm here to be a voice and to be an active protest for the to do whatever the fuck it takes to get it done. absolutely That you would never imagined or you couldn't imagine. I mean I know the news put out a lot of stuff out there and what you guys see a lot of social media, pictures and everything and what what it's like to be out here to actually experience that and grabs your heart and it holds you and you can't leave until something changes so many people are doing the job and dedicate their lives to. I wanna write it on my hand and not because I'm trying to get away or problems because when they start shooting up some stuff for a reason right in their face, they've been hurting us and meeting us what we're feeding. we hold it down. We played last night like you know they do and it look like at a a A big Cowboys they fit in the Middle of the lot there The Bull tries to cuz they were they're their parents and their moms and dads broke up from arguing being stuck in the House and face masks on their face and they're losing their jobs and they don't have nothing to eat and they're coming down here and all we're doing is try to feed people and take care of people and. You guys can see it man. It's out there, you know. I think as a people if we lose sight and start fighting and arguing with each other, they they win they won't they win they win if we fight each other, That's what they want and I see on a bigger picture of what they've done to black people in the community They to us down and get us to fight each other and cause problems They did it on a small scale and it was to watch it unfold. We start fighting each other, then they move in and they take position. and that's what they've been doing this whole time. They've got us fighting each other. We need to come together as people assist each other and right now to show each other that we can do this and pull through this shit. the small things you guys do trickle you know. it's amazing. We get people that stop down here like the money that don't have money all different walks of life and they're blown away by the stuff that we're doing and like I said the smallest things help it trickles down and altogether small things like one big impact and said the shock wave across the country that we know how to do it and Portland's gonna stay down until we figure something out. Where we're all standing, there was something that we called the sacred fence. and there was some protesters and some police would pay checks and gear and we had a little talk and we threw around the term restorative Justice. And please cut off everything we tried to say but the following day they took down the sacred fence. and the other night we have a second fence that isn't so sacred I've been fighting with people and feeling betrayed and vulnerable all of my fucking life and I'm sick of people wasting my time and energy I've been here. since day one I've been fighting for housing. for 20 plus years This is a little. yes I said talking microphone can we protect people there is babies on the street every night I mean little people I had a seven year old tell me the other night that she was a grown woman told me to go back to my nursing home ah so keep brown said she thought that we needed some dialogs and I guess this is a hell of a lot better then then ah then a email we do need a dialogue with the police and the politicians and people you guys are here to Can we stop protecting properties and people? Little ones and they're here to do damage there's games and there's a whole bunch of people getting ready to be homeless. I got you, but that's coming. here. Excuse me here. You are not on the Internet. I'm sorry. Thank you for speaking to this. I'm John Schlosser. I'm a local criminal defense attorney civil rights attorney and yesterday I was reached out to about a potential client, one of the people who were kidnapped by mini vans. It took me all of an hour using and my limited resources to determine that the vans that are taking people are rental lands. Wow. This the federal government doesn't go out and rent many vans to enact whatever it is that they're doing so these people are in are either. federal contractors or just people out there knocking people off of the Street and it took me an hour to figure that out U S Marshals made an announcement yesterday that they were looking into this. They have way more power than I do. they could've figured that out contacted the rental company and figured out who is doing this to our citizens by now. Why haven't they? I'm about to go cook cook some food so when you're done over here please slide through. so it's riot ribs. Please do support right ribs are over here on the corner now that pushes out of the Park. A man it's it's Unreal like I said, We've got a lot of kids that eat We. We just kick out a lot of food and clothing on a daily and it's it's a beautiful we try to. come to God. Do not be distracted Black Lives matter. Blocks on the top. Do What do we do? I said What do I do? Matter What. Bs matter Matter 14 boys. One Let me say that this is what we mean. my check. Let me say that this is what we mean when we say that community protects us, there is no need to as a lot of these people wanna say resort to violence. We're not worried about violence against the city or the property. We don't subscribe to violence against people. That's why we just deescalated that person escorted them out and our people are gonna make sure that he is safe and he is not put in danger. That's what we do. That's what White. Are doing putting their bodies on the front line where they belong. able-bodied people on the front lines defending our communities sis people on the front lines defending our communities Black lives matter, and we're gonna get back to the agenda right now, folks. The hate is real. I'm tired of being looked at like a bully or a thief or some sort of criminal simply because of the color of my skin, I heard someone say I have to be stronger than I should be because I'm black and I'm tired of it. I need y'all to show up and support keep coming back. Keep the same energy come out tomorrow, Write some emails show up at City Hall right into the rap show up for the people out here being abused in the streets. And I'll repeat myself right into. I'm just a person born and raised in the city of Portland and I'm tired of the hate. I'm glad to see Y'all here, but I'd love to see your face many times over because the revolution is rising. it's happening. Thank you for planting the seeds help us keep it growing. Fuck the police. fuck the facts. Fuck you Donald Trump. Take your guns out of Portland. Black Lives matter Hi Y'all. I'm Ashley I represent. Don't you Portland in their class action litigation against the city and the County. Thank you to each and everyone of you who have taken to the streets to put their lives on the line. Your body is on the line and standing up for what you believe in to make this world a better place to make our city and our community a better place as part of the litigation and some of you know we have a temporary restraining order which restricts the use of tear gas and restricts the use of certain impact munitions the last lethal weapons the pepper spray in the face those sorts of things if you have been injured by any of those weapons in the past three weeks, please go to. Portland website fill out the form and let us know we want to talk to you. We want to hear from you. We want you to be part of the litigation litigation and lawsuits alone are not going to address the issues that are plaguing our communities, but they are a piece of the puzzle and we need you and you need us and we wanna work together and we wanna work in conjunction but if people on the streets that are gonna hold the government accountable, it's gonna hold our elected leaders accountable and you have that. And you need to continue to assert it and we got your back. Thank you. My friends, my beloved. Love not violence. We'll build the city we wanna live in. It's gonna take a lot of people in the streets demanding that love in its public form, which is Justice is the equal inheritance of each human soul. It's gonna take a lot of clever litigation and we are so glad to have so many smart litigators. and as a lawyer told me once after a meeting at City Hall, it's gonna take a lot of pressure. also on elected officials it takes at least three arms. to embrace. Justice. it takes. In the halls of power. in our streets. demanding day by day. Justice must be Justice for all. or it is not just. Years ago when I was privileged to meet Teresa Raeford. it was because I had come to one of the gatherings after the murder by police of Wannie's Hayes. She said to me, where are the faith people? I said well. we're here, but you can't really tell who we are. I don't get to wear a collar. so right after that, I went back to my friends in the Portland Interfaith clergy resist and said we need to be seen and so we got us these vests a whole bunch of us run around downtown whenever there's turmoil in the streets whenever somebody needs to stand up whenever I need to remind Teresa that I heard her and that. Right here right now is the voice of God. You are the Holy You are the divine voice. Never mind. don't call it. God call it God's call it the source of life. I don't care what you call it You are voicing the. Truth. that if we do not care for all equally if we do not reach out to our vulnerable if we do not respond when the blood of our sibling calls to us from the ground this. society is going to collapse of its own obscene filth. My friends people of faith are out here not to lead because this is your leadership. we respond to this is not the sixties and I am not doctor King may he rest in peace but I learned from him and I learned from Rabbi Abraham Joshua Hessel, who marked with him and said my feet are praying when I marched with Doctor King. My feet are praying when I marched with Teresa Reefer. Connection. community caring for each other being willing to stand in front of someone more vulnerable to you to shield them. Sometimes we all need it. Sometimes we can give it. when all of us walk together on that path we will get there. some of us won't, but we as a people we as the human race are building. God willing they cannot be undone God willing ladies and gentlemen, friends of all ages companions comrades two spirit binary children who have not yet begun to understand how hard this is. We are all grateful for the presence in our lives of this leader friends Teresa Rayford. Thank you. thank you for caring about our community. Thank you for showing up but I wanted to just say that we started this movement when President Obama was still in the White House. We know that we were stolen people on stolen land through genocide and at the same patriarchy system was coming for us and anyone else in this community. That was a part of the 99 but our movement started it was to combine our communities so that we can build solidarity against the machine that only eats our children. We've been quantified. We've been criminalized. We've been detrimentally lied to by our politicians that we stood up and stay in contact with to make sure that they were elected because we trusted them. They have let us down to the detriment of public safety at this point, the fact that they're speaking out now does not take away the fact that they have not spoken out before. It does not make good the fact that. Responded to us it does not make good the fact that they knew we were out here swinging for us and that they never showed up to stand up in solidarity for black lives. The fact that they care now. Donald Trump's military forces in our city only undermines our intellect because we know that they're trying to get elected. The fact that we know who they are, We should show them where we're going in November period. The city belongs to the people the will of the people is how the city operates when we come together in the city moves in a way that protects the safety in the future of our children. not property does not matter during the pandemic when people are dying because of. Attacking our solidarity and our mutual support of one another while maintaining an opportunity to poison us is a reparable harm We should all be aware of what the information in the science report that we put on don't shoot Portland means and how that should accommodate any kind of opportunity you need to stand up and get Justice look at the report. read the report shall the report and at the same time if you've been harmed at any time during this pandemic, please contact us so we. Fight for you, we show up for our community. Until Black Lives matter. I would like to use this moment now, I know that I am just a person I wanted to be known that a lot of people talk about me as the founder of activism actually in the like that's a single person run platform that I founded out of my interest to help educate the community. I'm not a part of any major organs or groups by. position, but I would like to take this moment as someone who y'all claimed to wanna listen to formally endorse Teresa Raeford for mayor. The reality is from the way that I see it another White woman running for office because she hates Ted Wheeler is not going to be the person that we need to abolish the police and tear down the system. Instead, I want y'all to understand that the people that we need in office are the people who don't wanna fucking be in office. What we need is we need the people who aren't going to hold their loyalty to their paycheck. Instead of to the people, that's why we need leaders who are willing to fight and dismantle the system from the inside knowing that it might cost them their job or very well their life. We've talked I've talked too much in this goddamn city. A lot of us have been out here, saying the same damn thing for year after year after year. What we need is the community education aspect and we need y'all to be interested in it Because education research and learning isn't heroes work in the eyes of the people. It isn't for some of you to think the best use of your privilege, but what I'm here to tell you is that you can and need to do both. Here's some things that I want y'all to understand as we stand here in this moment. All these people behind me these black Brown and non-binary leaders. Are at risk. when we talk about invoking ML, K's name I instead when they talk about evoking Malcolm X's name, I wanna talk about what we mean when we say by any means necessary, I want you to read these signs that I put up. The laws are not just it is your duty to resist property damaged does not equal violence but White silence sure does what we need is to fire the fence and abolish America as it is known because we know that something that was built on faulty foundation cannot be left to stand you. A new on the crumbling foundations of a society that is built on White supremacy on genocide I'm colonization. I want you to understand that you need to decolonize the book out of your train of thought. I want you to understand that what we need is as we said. we do not need. land acknowledgements. We need solidarity. We need you to honor respect and protect the people who put themselves on the line for you. What I want you to understand is that we've already made demands. We made them three years ago. We're gonna make them again tomorrow. We made them again four months ago and last month too, Yes Let. You a reminder of some major things to touch on. obviously we want to defund disarm and disband the PB the state marshals the federal police at etcetera. Abolish them all we know that these are steps these are abolitionist steps to take these are not performance steps to take we don't need another fucking. investigation. When we talk about abolishing the police when we talk about what you are at risk of when when you talk about analyzing your risk assessment for arrest. I want you to understand that when you get arrested, where does the state put you in a cage? It's why we don't need to spend more time trying to call the police on people who harm us. That's why we don't need to spend more time hoping that the fascist will take the other fascists and people we don't like away what it means when we say abolition as we mean abolition of the. Industrial complex too. For a brief second, I want you to think about all of y'all wearing masks in this crowd and imagine the prisoners being denied them in cages. You know a close friend of mine just recently got out of prison for two years. Why because he was a political protester, why because he made the state scared. and what did he experience the same violence that the entire state is built upon. I want you to remember that if you are black, you are at risk of death. I want you to remember that if you are trans, you're sucking to like death on a rest, I want you to understand that disabled people like the deaf and hard of hearing community who cannot fucking hear commands to begin with and we know the state doesn't care about accessibility in the first place they are at risk of violence we are at risk of violence. Nothing will. I'm unless you're a skinny White sis woman. In which case they'll do everything they can to hunt down the people who allegedly hurt you whether your tears are fake or not. Let's talk about some specific demands. Can we get a de-escalation team to the crowd? please hey hands up hands up hands up. Don't shoot. One I want to the Center here please or De-escalation team is working on it. again. This is what we mean when we say we protect us. So the person filming right now is Leon. Hey. Here we know you're a White supremacist hiding in the crowd doesn't work with Dawn. Please follow the deescalation team as they escort you out. Alright. Let's recognize how many people we need to take care of one. How many people we need to take one? No. Available can come back to the crowd to listen because we know that we have people who know what they're doing and we're thankful for them. Alright, let's go. Oh we are occupied state buildings that could be re-purposed for the houseless community. Community and I want you to. In life and And make sure that the interpreters are always available we need. Put your money where your goddamn mouth is and start playing black and Brown people to become interpreters, but they need to do. Dismantle the pipelines they need to end the conditional use. The ice building on this because we know that that conditional use permit has been broken the terms of that contract have been violated and the city continues to stay silent about the need to put pressure on the person who owns this building and rent it out to the federal government and also as a shipment of other businesses here in Portland that you all should stop giving money to I can't remember his goddamn name right now, Stewart Lindquist So I Liz. The The community. Disabled have mental health issues and also out. We need to stop sitting on her ass and then and say a statewide moratorium on the victims. The city. to put their money where their goddamn mouth and then they can't keep up with unemployment. How about we create a goddamn brand new jobs for black and Brown folks and see what? Invested by. As hard as he can also give up her goddamn feet. I want us to understand that no reform will save us. that he could just as much as it includes Joan hard to see just as much as the food Chloe daily just as much as it includes fucking. Brown as much as it includes our senators as much as it includes every elected official in the city because what do we see from abolitionist for nobody? but the people? Mike is here we're in a for the people where they interviewed all of the DA candidates. I know that Mike talked a big game and I'm interested to see if he's gonna fulfill with it. I want Mike Smith to immediately criminalize sex work and share how. Okay, we got more. I want you to criminalize and also share how he will be working with the DA for the people on their first hundred days campaign to make sure that my peers understands and has the all of the tools for success to comply with the people's demands. I want Mike Smith to raise a voice to the prisoners because abolition or bust. When we talk about privilege, we need to talk about all the privileges and how they intersect we need to talk about all the disadvantages and the oppressive systems and how they intersect. I wanna tell a quick story real quick before I leave this microphone. I want you to know that I am a half White halfway Afro indigenous non-binary queer sex working high fun person. will tear us apart, but instead what I want you to understand is that I've been learning how to survive in the system Since the moment I was born, It's always been a fight. and who will always be. As I get older, my body will tell me when we talk about making sure that we invest in the disability community and an officer in the crowd. I just wanna let you know they're always here I know so heads up Y'all just on that. note helpful information, but I want you to remember that there are those officers in this crowd. not just plain clothes officers. Alright, I'm saying Y'all let's talk about it. real quick let's talk about the fact that we are facing off against the feds. You know, fuck my story and said, I wanna give you a little bit of advice before I step back. Let's talk about how Intel Bro. This is the way that the government launches counter insurgency efforts and insurgency is a fancy a word for uprising. Yeah, what they want to do is they want to stop us by any means possible if Y'all don't understand this and you retain information best through audio and visual learning. I want you to look at the documentary on Netflix about Malcolm X's murder. I want you to understand that the person who gave him out. Now You don't understand how deep this goes My of you are safe from the Sea. Mommy mommy. From you. But they want you to do is say, hey, there's a problem in the crowd and then they want you to all look at each other with suspicious eyes and go what the fuck you wanna do with the top. You know what they have more money more training more psychological tactics and a lot of y'all even understand. I'm not gonna say any of us cuz a lot of us have been preparing for this for years. I want you if you have to go take a look at my pin tweet It has a whole shit ton of links to scenes and educational resources on direct action in our action Protecting your community How to deal with coal pro. I want you to understand that the part of Co-intel pro a part of this counter insurgency efforts or something called sighs and you don't know the sides are. A few I see a few heads nodding so sign ups is something that the government does specifically to get into your head This shit is planned. it's targeted and it's strategic the history of it is deep and buried it has been deployed across the world. when they tear gas you every night they want you to get tired. They want you to be in fear. I want you to understand that fear is a healthy aspect of your psychological system, but I want you to take that fight or flight response and I want you to hold. I want you to try it. I want you to understand that we are stronger together. I want you to understand that instead of running when the police come up on you, I want you to study protest tactics across the world. I want the people in the front. I love y'all. holding umbrellas to bounce the fucking tear gas canister off the top of our heads. You know if you've got an umbrella and you're standing behind someone with the shield, you should protect them with that. wouldn't you. See when you say, say say. your goddamn arms and stay together and stay tight shoulder to shoulder if you want. I want you. Reason for None of us and Justice is that they don't have the education in the background to keep you all safe. An example, do you remember that time that they marched across the bridge you down. Yeah. lot of people. remember that crowd of thousands of people a lot of people sitting on the bridge. The other the catalyst and police around you, they make a Wall around you. They deploy units that you can't see from every corner and they swarm you They trap you so you cannot escape now. imagine that on a bridge, you're either gonna go to the cops. One way go through cops another way or you're gonna get trampled the fuck off the bridge when people panic, we are not safe places to sit and wait for the police to present. These young people and says what you need to do is you need to find the people who have this tactical analysis people like care about cops people like people like don't shoot Portland people like that. I want you to instead of following what these children that don't have the experience they surely want to know and lead them to the people who can teach them and help them. I want you to understand. A movement you know I saw know mostly irrelevant in our case misogynist In Town tweeting about how he doesn't trust new people to say that he pulled me. I entered the scene and that's why he called me a cop, but you know what people who believe in this movement don't just have that people with no proof because we know that cops are here. we know we are in the crowd and we know that if you ain't got proof for that shit, what you're doing is putting a target on someone else's back instead, what I want you to understand is that not you.

I want you to stop putting the expectations on others and be empowered to help yourselves. That's what this movement is about community takes. You. You going. All the scenes and being in a group with someone who you know a lot of people coming in from this direction to detects a friend now did you spend your time at home looking for the scenes?

I need to be filing this information and sharing it not just online but with your friends. Also I don't see any speakers behind me, so I'm just gonna keep teaching you. Is being used to so let's talk about the tear gas the expired Gass let's talk about the fact that we are wearing them out and using our supplies. let's talk about the fact that they don't have the capacity to be out here forever they keep on calling more people in and you know what so we'll be Yeah but let. And something that will affect your body and a myriad of ways. so let's talk about the immediate effects right you're gonna slide up your eyes are gonna shut to protect themselves your face and your skin that is exposed is going to burn. That's why we say rinse with water water water water water water water stop telling people that water is safe that shit is alive. stop telling people to use milk can Harbor bacteria. For that shit into your eyes, you are asking for an eye infection. Let's talk about the fact that not all of us have access to medical grade so instead water water water water water. Come on. make sure that you will be treated to tear you take out your contacts before you do so because that you you're all if you wear contact you always gonna happen if you pour water on contacts at the fuck around they might get embedded in your eye or worse. let's talk about the deep effects. a lot of people with uterus is here.

Let's talk about the fact that some of them are expired now I don't have a hundred percent confirmation on this, but from some very trusted comrades, they were talking about how some studies say that the the like explosive mechanism the trigger mechanism that is in the tear gas canister well often a road before the. agent the chemical agents inside go back, so don't want to necessarily be like. Oh, it's fired tear gas like I mean if it's a decade, plus sure but instead. Stop taking so many dubs before it comes to us. but instead I want y'all to understand that these things are unpredictable and dangerous. Don't hold unemployed things in your hands, Please don't pick em up. Don't take pictures like that post a picture on the Street figure out if you can kick it somewhere away and see if it's the boys, you know who could be a good target to touch on. I don't know. I'm not gonna say shit up here right now, but I bet Y'all can think of some options. Let's talk about the impacts the less than lethal stuff. I want y'all to make sure you understand. these things are not less than lethal unless you in a very particular way and less than lethal does not mean nice It does not mean soft or casual or easy. instead, what it means as much pain as they can inflict on you without killing you unless you in the head with it in which case the point. Things that you need to be aware of visually the cops around you communicate the uniformed officers make sure everybody knows where they're at your head on a swivel Like I've been doing this whole time. Make sure that you understand that you need armor. We're not at the point where you can be out here without armor anymore. I got a backpack over here. This is what I came into the actions I got a helmet. got the backpack full of supplies for our hearts because if they hit you with the pond, that's just not gonna feel nice. and maybe there's a soften the blow a little bit. Let's talk about the respirator that I had and we all need access to this be a good place to put your money. Government is taking pictures of the labels of shoes and I really cool trick our minds today. I'm gonna try next time I go out for. I'm willing to walk up that was take some duct tape and put it over the top of the shoe and it reflects the light from the cameras that we're using and can't see what we got. They gonna track you down by the paths that are on you know you're fucking foot your footprints. That's just way harder than taking a picture. I want you to understand that if you've got black shit and it's got a fucking logo on it like this shit turn it inside out turn it inside. Do not be identifiable as much as possible. Now I know I look like a hypocrite right now not blocking all that shit, but I say again that like I've already got a file. I'm waiting to be killed by the government. That's why you don't see me out here that much you don't go on, CNN and say abolish the United States. and not have a file on you. I got to tell you that the board for five hours coming back into the States after helping migrants I. To remember that when you get the team do not answer their questions and do not lie either. Why is a is a federal crime? the bullshit despite the fact that the cops can't lie to you, It's why we say do not talk to cops ask if you're free to go. That's a word tell them you want to speak to a lawyer. tell them you have no comment. don't talk to the cops. Make sure you have water. Make sure you eat before you come I did another on Twitter. working on a website I gotta get going. it's time to go to make her first social media sites for now for Mother's stream is going to do about risk assessments.
