Second Proud Boy assault of several at the CA capitol today. This time comitted by a man wearing a "Staff" shirt for the group hosting the *permitted event* there.

(Audio intentionally distorted)
Here's his face and neck tattoo. The logo on the shirt says "Saviors of Liberty", the name of the group listed as hosting the event on the flyer (after they removed mention of Proud Boys)

The same Proud Boy throws another punch later on in the day yesterday. This time he's standing shoulder-to-shoulder with a CHP officer, and faces no consequences.

This Proud Boy is on video committing at least 6 assaults across several rallies, all directly in front of cops.
More assaults by Proud Boys in front of the CA capitol yesterday. One of the major initiators is that very same proud boy from the other two assaults. Again, right in front of police, who allowed him to commit three different assaults with impunity in the same day.
This initial shove that prompted the melee appears to be by this man, who claimed his 4th degree during the assaults at Cesar Chavez Park on 11/21

CW: Racial slurs

I tuned into Eddie Block's channel just in time to catch him repeatedly call someone a "wetback" at the Tower Theater protests in Fresno.
Eddie is out with a group called "Sons of 76". Eddie called this man "Rick" and implied that he was a cop. Back in November, a man with matching tattoos was in Sacramento wearing Proud Boy gear. He also had "Sheepdog" name tags at that event.
In another video, Eddie Block identifies the man who was photographed wearing Proud Boy colors back in November, as Officer Rick Fitzgerald of Fresno PD

Meet Proud Boy Kenneth Shields of Lodi, CA. Kenneth was at several of the post-election rallies in Sacramento, including 11/21 when he took part in a group beating of a man who was on the ground.

In this video, Shields can be seen participating in the group beating in Cesar Chavez Park in Sacramento on 11/21. He comes into the frame at around 0:24 here, and can be recognized by his helmet and black plate carrier.
