Absolutely wowed at this spread of my photo in the issue of the art magazine Root Quarterly that just came out.

My photography and thoughts are throughout pages 14 to 25.

Buy a copy of @RootQuarterly today (volume 2, issue 4)

Sorry @YouTube, I said what I said
This image is quite the remix of my photography.
Some more serious points being made by author Walter Foley in the final page of the article, which includes my (ironic) photo of Trump supporters climbing over a wall.

The family of Donovan Lynch releases balloons in his honor today, which would be his 26th birthday.

Donovan was shot dead by a Virginia Beach police officer on March 26.

Protests are taking place tonight, but I wanted to share this first.
Wayne Lynch, Donovan’s father spoke out briefly as well.

“He’s here in spirit. He’s here in our hearts,” he said. “We’re gonna keep his name alive.”

He says he’s made a career of protecting the lives of young Black men, and will continue to expand on that effort.
The family then released four doves. One for Donovan, and three for the Holy Trinity.

“We love you Donovan,” his father waved as the doves flew into the distance.

Followup on this story: On Tuesday, my @N2Sreports contributor @SCWKorsgaard was able to catch up with @JaPharii757 of @BLM757 to speak about his recent arrest.
Japharii had been speaking out ahead of the Windsor Town Council meeting, where attendees spoke out against the Windsor Police Department, whose officers pepper-sprayed and a Black Army lieutenant and held him at gunpoint.

Japharii spoke to Wight County Sheriff's Deputies, who mostly were unwilling to talk but clarified that they are a separate law enforcement agency than the ones involved in recent controversies in the area.

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.
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.
