Wow. Columbus Police posted about a protest bus being equipped with riot gear: clubs, rocks, axes, etc.
Turns out the bus belonged to "hippie circus" performers. The clubs were juggling clubs. The rocks were crystals and fossils. Story by @joeloliphint

After Columbus PD posted about it, @MayorGinther and @marcorubio helped amplify the trope of dangerous, out-of-town protesters.
You'll recall that Columbus PD Chief Quinlan claimed, without evidence, the protesters causing damage were "organized" and "funded"

The Columbus Division of Police could use more responsible social media handlers.
.@joeloliphint tried to submit records requests about the bus, but Columbus Police has denied them: "citing ongoing investigatory work."
Yet the department is willing to publicly tweet out a photo, with details of alleged 'evidence.' Makes total sense.
