The battered fence is still intact. It’s a at a standoff for now...
Federal agents also utilizing leaf blowers
Now it’s basically just a back-and-forth stalemate.

If people go for the gas canisters, then officers shoot them with rubber bullets and pepper balls.

Law enforcement officers showed up en force and cleared protesters in order to extinguish a large fire just outside the fence.
Watch federal officers clear protesters from the area surrounding the courthouse with ruthless efficiency:
Decided to call it a night after someone detonated a firework literally in between my feet (I was alone videoing debris inside perimeter fence).
Lady twenty feet away was screaming bloody murderer after but I only realized once I saw the video because my ears were ringing 🤪

Further proof the firework detonated ON MY FEET.
