Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Thanks for documenting which side I was on for future generations, I guess. I’d rather that be crystal fucking clear to my kids and any future grandchildren than ever have them wonder, tbh.

A business you liked blaming minimum wage increases and paid family leave for “crushing their dreams” and causing them to close really softens the blow

"Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
This video was filmed yesterday in St. Louis Park, MN — a nearby suburb of Minneapolis. I do not know the person who filmed it, but this incident is very clear and terrifying example of what has been happening here over the past week or so.
