It’s Monday morning and I’m exhausted. I spent majority of the weekend locating, bailing out, and talking to protesters, and now that I’ve had a few hours to recharge I’d like to share my/their experiences as well as my concerns re the FEDERAL OCCUPATION OF KANSAS CITY.
Multiple protesters we bailed out reported that after being maced by police they tried to escape. They were blocked by an unmarked truck and immediately rounded up, thrown into a paddy wagon, and taken into custody.
Once in custody, officers confiscated protester’s masks/face coverings and did not provide new masks. They were interrogated for hours by a cop who wanted to know “which one of you fuckfaces spray painted our statue?”. They were denied food/any information re their charges.
