Protesters on the ground in Charlotte are reporting a police vehicle near the protest has a pile of bricks in the back. We have seen police in other cities use #baitbricks before to incite protesters. Dont take the bait. https://twitter.com/cltuprising/status/1297377613946683394?s=20

Downtown Portland for protest clash. Patriot trump supporters are lined up with shields and armor, black lives matter protests are yelling and chanting back. Their black lives matter chants drowns out the streets. https://t.co/7ovHxQPh7M

"There is a man consistently shooting paintballs and pepper balls at people's heads leaving so many injured. But Portland police does nothing. When black lives matter hit a window they throw tear gas."

These people have no support whatsoever, by the way. And they never will.
Also don't call them patriots. They are not patriots. They will tell you they are, but they're not. It's not about America. It's never about America. It's never about any values. They have no values. They stand for nothing. It's always about themselves and crushing (or rather, attempt to crush) anyone that is perceived as different.
Theirs is a weakness masqueraded as a projection of power, but they have no real power by themselves. The only power they have is institutional violence, they same they deny existing.
