#stream kerwin speaking about how what you're seeing is people standing in solidarity and unity. Sharing water, snacks, taking care of each other. He also discussed that we don't know what to expect and police tactics keep changing.

But this crowd is holding strong. We keep us safe!
#otg people on the ground telling us police are now showing up. Will relay reports as we get them. Stay strong Elizabeth City!
#scanners confirmed ecpd is using a tac2 for protest related comms which is why we're not hearing much on scanner
#stream everyone still chill. Whatever happens, do not panic. Keep each other safe, take care of each other, remember your rights, remember that the police are a systemically racist institution trying to break the wills of those who are fighting for justice. Be water. Be strong.
