#scanner Announcement that "safety is a full time job" and to take care when on your shift [paraphrased]
💖Thank you to all the people who showed up to stand in solidarity with our neighbors at the PATCO station for eviction defense. We keep us safe! 💖
#OTG Cleaning crews powerwashing one of four or five of the sections of the PATCO camp, while cops harass another to move their stuff. By the pace everything is moving, this is expected to be an all day affair.
#OTG An OHS official and a handful of cops are traveling between the different sections of the encampment between 12th and 15th along Locust. Cops are mostly standing around while OHS harasses residents. There is a powerwasher slowly making its way west, still on 12th street now. Residents are mopping their own floors and still being told to move their things. Support as cops and maintenance people make their way to 15th is appreciated. At the pace they are moving, it will be over the course of hours. We will post updates as we have them. Thank you everyone for coming out and making it known they cannot act unseen on the houseless!
#OTG It has become clear that the cleaning crew has no intention of drying the floor after the power washing, which means residents are unable to move their tents back to their living spot. If they power wash everything down here, there will be nowhere for people to keep their stuff without it getting soaked. Tarps needed
#scanner All units be advised, SEPTA will be closed for the next two hours (anyone w more info on this?)
#scanner Two bike units requested to 15 and Locust
#scanner All central district units instructed to stay out of the area of 800 N 10th / 10 and Brown until further notice
Huge thanks to everyone who showed up to help and watch. your presence keeps the authorities accountable.
#scanner Police may resume all normal radio transmission at 17 and Walnut
