I'm downtown but been running and filming since I got on the ground. Got knocked down by officers 227 from DHS who then shot me up as I retrieved my phone.

Here's that moment when DHS officers rush the crowd, I try to back up while still shooting, get knocked over a photographer, and if you listen closely you may hear the pepper balls shot at my phone as I retrieved it from the ground.

And here's when DHS brought their gas gun/leaf blower/insecticide sprayer out to disperse protesters. Wait for it, it's worth it.

This is one of the first confrontations I witnessed tonight, you can clearly see DHS is able to avoid hurting or shooting this reporter if they want to. It was a very heavy assault when it looked like feds were retreating.

Another very heavy assault, apparently in response to a water bottle being lobbed at the line of feds as they were retreating.

Protester hollers at feds, apparently one of the feds told them "this is a war," DHS responds by launching gas and other munitions while retreating

This is the first confrontation I saw tonight. A number of DHS vehicles were blocking Moody, north of ICE, I believe north of Lowell, then an officer begins shooting the crowd with pepper balls so the vehicles can leave.

I'll post a photo thread tomorrow and put videos in order.

Please note I later determined the photographer I fell over was @MaranieRae, who had a finger broken by an officer kicking her while she was kneeling on the sidewalk shooting.
