BREAKING VIDEO: Tonight @JaPharii757 of @BLM757 turned himself in to Newport News Police in Virginia over apparent warrants for his arrest out of Virginia Beach.

He can be seen in the lobby being handcuffed and searched.

Video by @SCWKorsgaard for @N2Sreports
After being searched and handcuffed inside, police took @JaPharii757 back outside into a squad car where they drove him to Virginia Beach where he is being charged.
In a brief phone call with me ahead of the arrest, @JaPharii757 described the incident he mentions in this tweet, and says he was later informed he was charged related to this as well as a warrant from a protest weeks ago.

A handful of members of the Black Panther Party of Virginia were there to support @JaPharii757, who spoke to @SCWKorsgaard / @N2Sreports
JaPharii has since been released from jail tonight, apparently a little before midnight.

VIDEO THREAD: Protesters were confronted for a fourth night by police in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota following the police shooting of Daunte Wright.

Officers were separated by fence from the protesters, and fired rubber bullets, string balls, and pepper spray through it.
The evening began with protesters crowded around Brooklyn Center Police Department.

The situation declined as the evening approached a 10 pm curfew imposed in the city.

The footage in this thread is shot by @chrisjuhnphoto for @N2Sreports.
Protesters assembled in an umbrella shield formation to block less lethal munitions.

Police largely focused their fire on that formation, which appeared to be about 25 feet back from the fence officers were behind.

Tonight @PBS premieres "American Insurrection" a Frontline piece I served as a consulting producer on and which features me on screen as well as my footage.

@Twitter @TwitterDC @TwitterSupport is still marking my whole account "sensitive" and banning me from search results. ImageImageImageImage
Big tech using "sensitive content warnings" to suppress isn't new.

In my case, the first instance I noticed was when Twitter marked footage of mine showing peaceful BLM protesters raise their fists as "sensitive."

Twitter offers no notification or right of appeal.

@JosephWulfsohn got Twitter to reply about it in February 4, where they referred to their "civic integrity policy."

I've never had a single tweet deleted by the platform nor labelled as misinformation.

THREAD: Last night, protesters gathered outside Brooklyn Center PD to demand action in the death of #DaunteWright.

The situation was peaceful until curfew, when police began pushing protesters back.

All video in thread by @chrisjuhnphoto for @N2Sreports.
Toward the beginning of curfew, police fired rubber bullets through a fence at the crowd.

If you watch this clip closely, you'll hear that a woman yells in pain when an officer discharges the weapon through the fence.
"I'm really sick of just the police occupation in general, harassing Black people, white people, everybody," said one activist carrying an upside down American flag.

He says that as a white man, he doesn't have to worry about being shot over expired tags.

HD Footage: Tonight hundreds marching for Daunte Wright in Washington DC took the unusual step of bringing the entire march into the Dupont Circle metro, where they hopped the turnstiles and continued to protest within the subway system of the capital.
"Whose train? Our train!" chanted protesters in black bloc.

They ultimately got out at the Chinatown stop, where police watched but didn't get involved as the activists hopped the exit turnstiles and left without incident.
Activists fired fireworks throughout the evening and occasionally put objects like cones in the road to disrupt the police tailing them.

Cops mostly kept to themselves, and on one occasion a cop drove his cruiser onto the sidewalk to avoid getting out and moving the cone.

Here at Malcolm X Park in Washington DC, protesters gather for #DaunteWright.

They are assembling shortly to march.

Police aren’t within the park but stationed around its exits.

Most people dressed in block, I’d guess a couple hundred or so.
The March begins.
“If we don’t get it, burn it down!”

Absolutely unacceptable. Physical violence against media (read entire thread) is never ok.
“Dude you were at the Capitol, were you or were you not?”

@BGOnTheScene video-documented J6.

This interaction reveals the real-world implications of claiming primary source journalism amounts to endorsement.

By this argument, Brendan would also be an anti-eviction activist.
This exact interaction happened to me once when a militia group acting as security for the Proud Boys apparently believed online trolling claiming I’m “antifa” because I’ve filmed/interviewed Antifascist activists.
