after the water bottle was thrown, the leaders and clergy were trying to communicate to the crowd but the sound machine was so loud nobody could hear - they ended up linking arms and walking the crowd back away, forcing some of them even, but they did it themselves. I thought the gun-car happened well up the street at McDonalds/QT area, far away from the police line group. The sound machine does more to inflame things on a line than to than calm things down imo
The sound machine has its uses. That probably wasn’t one of them, though.
The leaders and clergy did great work. There were two incidents at roughly the same time, one involving a pickup with a Molotov cocktail recovered that I think was down at Chambers. I didn’t catch the location of the two gun stop, just heard Jackson mention it in the context of the media being out of their area. Was it down where the shots fired stuff on Canfield was?
Just looked at a bit more of the Mickey D’s footage, and the media are all over the place, intermixed with the SO and the demonstrators. They’re definitely going to need to get reigned in.
