VIDEO: Colombian government forces continued to deploy tear gas and rubber bullets at protesters last night in the Suba region of Bogotá.

A total of 70 deaths have been reported since the "National Strike" began.

#Colombia
As the "Mobile Anti-Disturbances Squadron" (ESMAD) fired tear gas and rubber bullets, protesters used rocks and erected a makeshift barricade

At least 30 people were reportedly injured Wednesday night alone.
Here is the full @N2Sreports video of last night's clashes in the Suba region of Bogotá, Colombia, filmed by @MaranieRae.

As always, all footage is available to license.

As you probably know if you follow my freelancers' and my work, I hate asking for money.

That being said, if you appreciate this sort of raw footage coverage of political movements, please consider supporting us @N2Sreports.

On January 6 at the Capitol, I had @T_Jones_Media shooting a second angle for @N2Sreports. He filmed the entire siege specifically from the Northeast Capitol entrance.

While I've made this footage available to networks already, today I can release it publicly for the first time.
"Can you ask Nancy out so we don't have to go in," a Trump supporter asked a USCP officer.

"Well she's over on the other side," he replied.

Trump supporters exited, not entered, this entrance at first.

One said people "trying to take congress" and "beating up cops" inside.
As Trump supporters started streaming in, the officer tried to discourage them.

"If you don't wanna get sprayed, I wouldn't go in."

"The reason everyone just came out this way is this is nowhere near the chamber," he said. "They realized they're in the wrong spot."

THREAD: Portland Police declared about 200 antifascist demonstrators to be engaged in a "riot" Tuesday night after the group set fire to a dumpster during their commemoration of George Floyd.

A line of cops pushed the group backward and put the fire out.

Filmed by @MaranieRae
When the dumpster fire was put out, Portland Police threw smoke and pulled out as the antifa activists shot a couple fireworks at them.

Neither side appeared to sustain any injuries.
The remainder of the march happened with little police interference as the group smashed windows and set some small fires throughout the city.

There were reportedly a total of five arrests, although they didn't appear to occur during/inside the march itself.

Raw footage thread: Pro-Palestine activists rallied this afternoon in front of the Israeli Embassy in Washington DC. Hundreds attended and chanted in support of Palestinians and against Zionism.

"Hey hey, ho ho, Israel has got to go!"

"Free, free Palestine!"
The activists brought four fake coffins draped in Palestinian flags up to the DC Israeli Embassy, where they read the names civilians killed by Israeli airstrikes.

(Note: I didn't include all the names in this shot - this took about ten minutes. It's in the livestream fully.)
One Palestinian activist who came from Cleveland spoke into my cam to politicians.

He praised 25 members of congress who sent a letter to Sec. Blinken condemning eviction of Palestinians.

"America must end its alliance with Israel," he said.

"End it now!" the crowd chanted.

Press conference right now is underway in the police killing of Andrew Brown.

While they are early into the presentation, the speaker has already said shooting ruled "justified."

There won't be charges against officers, it appears.

fox46.com/news/u-s/north…
Of the fatal shot that was fired at Brown in his car from *behind* him as he drove away, police are saying that Brown was driving toward an unmarked police vehicle that was in front of him.
They're now showing the bodycam footage that the community has been demanding for weeks.

It appears to show one officer fire from in front of the car, and the rest of the shots happen as no officers are in the car's path except for this apparent unmarked police vehicle on street

HD video thread: Today a coalition of thousands of activists held a Free Palestine march in Washington DC.

This was, by far, the most well-attended activist event I've seen during the Biden administration in Washington DC.

"Biden Biden, you will see! Palestine will be free!"
"Israel is a terror state!" chanted activists on the steps of the National Archives. "Israel is an apartheid State!"

"Hey hey, ho ho, the occupation has got to go!"
"Jerusalem is ours alone!" chanted the #FreePalestine activists as they approached the U.S. Capitol. "Gaza is ours alone!"

"Settler settler go back home, Palestine is ours alone!"

"Free, free Palestine!"

Asked the boss if I could take a day off for fishing.

I am my boss.

Boss said yes.

Don’t bother me today, Twitter!
Important update, @PotterSims caught the first bass of the day.
Hey @Hala_Nico I’m bringing home some takeout (only one of them - this is all we could keep from the day). 😂 🐟
