FYI if you're in West or know anyone near Parkside spread the word that a lot of cops seem to be staging out of the Mann Center parking lot
Forwarded from Philly Police Broadcast
On the ground reports that center city is swarming with police many streets shut down
Hey Bloc, reports that a wagon is following you and some concern about connections to vandalism related to the protests.
OTG:march is spirited but peaceful. No vandalism observed by any one on the ground.
If you were part of the "umbrella group" and didn't manage to change clothes there is a team waiting for you at south corner of city hall
Cops, we know you watch this channel, the march left an hour ago. No need to be racking up the overtime and wasting tax payer $$.
Ok. Seriously. We were listening to your chatter. You cared more about following some kids with umbrellas than the guy that stabbed someone in the neck. You are *still* hanging out around downtown when there is *no* protest or anything happening except people eating dinner. Seriously. This is why we say #defund and #abolish cuz you just wanna pick a fight! Seriously, earn your paycheck.
