Police at #BHAZ near White House just targeted and arrested woman giving out water. About to go live once this posts.
Literally she just handed me water not a minute before that clip. 
Tonight outside the White House, police arrested activist Camilla Greer @greerrrr, seemingly at a random moment. At the time, she had been handing out water bottles.
Afterwards, police wouldn't explain why it happened/if there was a warrant.

Tonight #BlackLivesMatter protesters marched about ten miles. In the Columbia Heights neighborhood, the group marched into Target and demanded that the store "stop calling the police on black people."
An employee tried to shut the entrance, but the group managed to hold it open.

"Until you stop calling the police, we'll continue to shut your business down," they chanted before marching away.
Here is uncut, HD video of the #BlackLivesMatter protesters entering Target and making their demands before continuing to march.
Here at Lincoln Park, the statue of Abraham Lincoln that police were deployed to protect us surrounded by fence and concrete barriers.
Some police standing around nearby, and a handful of activists talking to one another. I don’t think any conflict will be happening here tonight

Checking in now at the #BHAZ area near the White House. A few dozen protesters are still here crowded around and arguing with the police guarding St. John’s.
It seems like there was some sort of conflict earlier, protesters demanding badge numbers.

The fence re-erected in front of the White House now has orange road sign-looking posters such as “rough road to equal rights” and “prepare to stop racism.”
Tonight I filmed in the "Black House Autonomous Zone" or "#BHAZ," the protest area near the White House.
There was no violence, but one interesting incident: A conservative guy trying to preach religion was there, and got yelled and followed away.

When protesters drove the evictee near the end of the BHAZ, police stepped in to escort him away themselves.
"If a cop killed your kid, how you gonna feel?" a protester asked an African-American police officer, who offered no reply.
He repeated the question before saying, "that's how we feel right now."

I’m here at the #BHAZ - activists meeting name for the community they’ve formed on H Street in DC.
Police have let activists take back the street area outside the White House, but fences are around St. John’s and Lafayette Park.

Things are pretty chill right now. Police staying out of the way, and a drum band performing on the “R” in “Black Lives Matter.”
Police generally just ignoring the individual protesters at the moment.
People have told me that a march departed from here about a half hour ago, so the crowd is certainly thinner until their expected return.

Trump ordena al gobierno federal arrestar a quien vandalice o destruya monumentos, estatuas o propiedades federales.
Podrían pasar hasta 10 años en prisión.
En las últimas semanas manifestantes han cargado vs estatuas confederadas y hasta de Cristobal Colón o Cervantes.

Manifestantes vandalizaron anoche la iglesia de St. John’s frente a la Casa Blanca y declararon una “Black House Autonomous Zone” o zona autónoma de la casa negra, pintando esas iniciales #BHAZ en la iglesia...
