Dozens of cops circling and parked around Tigard high school where vigil for #RobertDelgado is being held. Right wingers and locals are circling. Cops are pulling people over back to back. Cops are filming press and other vigil attendees. This is crazy
Second Tigard cop drove by filming and said "Proud of Your boys". Person yelling got pulled over on the way
I'm not 100% he said "Proud of Your boys", he was filming and said "something...something...your/the boys"
I ask him later; he acts like he didn't know what I was talking about. Next in thread
I ask if he said "Proud of Your Boy" he acts confused then asks if I'm with @nytimes or @USATODAY as they drive off
This appears like the 3rd car that has been pulled over coming or leaving to #RobertDelgado vigil. The person that left before this person, immediately got followed out by 2 Tigard police
Several locals and police are out tearing down all the flyers put up about officer Zachary Delong killing #RobertDelgado
These are the flyers. They were also being painted over
We asked some teens where they heard about a protest in Tigard from. We heard "from our parents", "police dept", "email" "friend read email from their parent", "social media". They didn't seem like they wanted to give an exact source of "protest warning"
PPB put out press release that contradicts residents and video evidence of situation with two dudes passed out in their car. Citizens check on them while cops hid behind their cars for a long time. The upset residents then get filmed by former PPA pres Brian Hunzeker 1/
Here is video of Officer Brian Hunzeker filming residents for doing nothing more than criticizing them. What are you gonna do with that video Hunzeker? 2/
Residents approached vehicle themselves because cops wouldn't check on the two that were unresponsive for atleast 20min. It's unclear how anyone knew there was a gun in the car, but they didn't get charged, so must have been legal 3/
Far-Right Hate Group, Jewish Defense League, stated they came for a fight and then later attacked #PalestinianRights activists. One infiltrated acting like he was for the cause and another bragged about raping ppl in prison. 1/6
Then after JDL attacked, media/right wingers zeroed in on one guy claiming he was an "elderly man jumped by a mob". Not only was he not elderly, but was attempting to use a bat and knife on Palestinian activists before getting beat up. 2/6
Addressing last night, which I really was hesitant to do publically. First I was not physically attacked & want to be clear my equipment is the least of my concern. My phone survived the blow to pavement and spray paint on my camera came off with very little damage to screen 1/
The issue arose from a very public callout at the park about Nope retweeting someone's footage of Nazi Vinni getting walked out after threatening people and being arrested. Even I've been retweeted by Andy, that doesn't mean their media is problematic....2/
While this was being talked out (which could have been done 1 on 1) about 3 to 5 people decided to escalate and started yelling "break their cameras" and "beat their ass", really over a misunderstanding. I stayed out of it until about 4 or 5 surrounded person. It seemed like...3/

Full video 1/6
Officer Hurley blames increase in homicides on lack of GVRT and the DA not prosecuting crimes, like property destruction at "riots". Property destruction is being prosecuted and homicide spiked nationwide and in Portland before dissolution of GVRT. 2/6
LNLA member falsely claims the homeless camp by his house is "violent anarchist" rioters and Officer Hurley replies "And they likely are, I'm not disagreeing with you, but I have no crime" 3/6
