"Hey J. I just got home. I got hit with a rubber bullet. I was there until 11.00 p.m. Police went on tactical alert especially after 10.00 p.m. and were really aggressive.

People were throwing eggs and other objects at them. They were in riot gear with orders to clear out the street so they kept going block after block on 6th. There helicopters constantly circling and undercover cops all over the place.

I understand from my friend who shot the footage last night on police violence that people have been protesting since at least since midnight of last night. He has got more footage of police aggression tonight. I understand people are gathering tomorrow at 6.00 p.m.

Hey I got to give it up for the Guatemala community they showed me something it was really good that after 8.00 p.m. blacks showed their solidarity; especially one black makes who had been beaten by the police.

Interesting 24 hour protest mirrors what took place in Pasadena last year when a blood gang member was shot. Thanks for the post earlier today that played a big role in me going there. i never thought I would be there until 11.00 p.m. Hopefully they keep it up on Tuesday evening."
