They thought the teargas would drive us away from their precinct. We set up shop on their doorstep.
They thought more teargas would cut our numbers. Twice as many showed up the next day.
They thought protesters were moving the barricade to attack police. Protesters were just getting close enough to engage in dialog.
They thought we would burn down the precinct they abandoned. Protesters are giving speeches on the front steps.
It is genuinely remarkable how wrong they have been. About everything.
