A crowd of 200+ left Kenton Park around 9:30 and just arrived at the PPA building on North Lombard. One speaker told the group before the march: "Tonight we will be civilly disobedient. And there's nothing peaceful about the protest."

Crowd in front of PPA. Other people are using fences, cars, dumpsters and other items to block the road.
Within moments of arriving, police issued a warning to the crowd. Now they're back and declaring an unlawful assembly. Warning of impact munitions or tear gas.
Signal is garbage out here so videos won't send right now. But state troopers and PPB moved in. Pushing the crowd way back. I saw at least two arrests. Police have now declared a riot.
One arestee being led away. I think tear gas is being used. I hit a wall of it near Denver and Kilpatrick.
Clashes between protesters and police. I dropped my phone at one point. Luckily police handed it to me before continuing to push us back.
I saw what looked like another arrest in Kenton Park. But police wouldn't let us stop moving. There were at least a dozen police cars on the grass in the park.
Trying to figure out where everyone ended up. Small crowd has returned to the area near the PPA building. Now PPB is giving warnings again.
More arrests.
The runner didn't make it. He is across the street in zip ties. Says his name is Jason and he owns a media company.
A woman in the van has been yelling about it being hot inside and needing water. I've seen police put three people in the van. At least one arrestee is still waiting.
Someone threw a glass bottle at police (you can see it in the street). They shined bright flashlights and pointed what looked like pepper ball guns or other crowd control weapons at the people across the street. Ultimately didn't shoot.
Pretty sure Demetria Hester, one of the leaders of Moms United for Black Lives, was the final person loaded into the van.
As soon as police left, the fences went back into the road. Now they're issuing another warning from the LRAD.
Some of the graffiti on the Walgreens. The crowd is around 100 people or fewer right now, and a large portion of those are wearing helmets/clothes labeled press.
And the graffiti on the PPA building...

No more warnings from police at this point.
