The police response in Portland has been notably aggressive, particularly against journalists, who have routinely been attacked by police night after night.
[...] Zippy Lomax, an independent journalist who has been documenting the protests for the past two months, attempted to follow the dispersal order by leaving in her car, but was stopped by the police.
“Then they slashed my tires and smashed my window. After I had already stopped moving. I was clearly in compliance,” she said. Video confirms this, and police argue that she was refusing to disperse and blocking the area. Over the next couple of hours, protesters and reporters were chased through the streets, tackled to the ground, and shoved from behind for not running fast enough.

Early this morning, protestors in #GreeneTownship #PA blocked the entrance to Combined Systems, Inc., a company specializing in the manufacture of military and police equipment including tear gas canisters, flash grenades, breaching munitions, and handcuffs. It supplies these products to polic, military, and prisons in the United States, as well as Egypt and Israel. Protestors demanded they stop manufacturing chemical weapons used against our communities.
Solidarity to all freedom fighters standing against these munitions around the world, and these brave protestors for locking down this facility today. At least one supply truck was forced to turn around due to this successful action.

What we are seeing tonight in the Democratic National Convention is textbook cooptation. They are only giving so much airtime to the Black Lives Matter movement because courageous people in Ferguson and Minneapolis stopped petitioning and broke the law. …
