#admin hello Elizabeth City! The team is prepping to provide you with updates from scanners and livestreams again tonight. We keep us safe!

Let your comrades on the ground know we will be updating this channel with intel and info about the situation on the ground as we receive it. Well also provide information on tactics, self care and caring for others when relevant.

We've got your back, Elizabeth City. Be safe and be powerful.

#scanner 5 black males wearing blm shirts one carrying an assault rifle walking toward elizabeth st from water st (?) approx 6pm

#social ECSU has released a statement that all the extra cops they brought in to terrorize peaceful protestors are moving out of the dorms of this HBCU to off-campus housing. May we recommend that they be moved all the way back out of town and each and every one of their respective departments abolished. https://twitter.com/ECSU/status/1388237994964967427

#social shoutout to our comrades making good use of the blocked off parking lot! Thoughtful of Elizabeth City to make it available for you like that, really... and to extend curfew to midnight. (Except the part where they say protestors now have to apply for a permit. Which we all know they'd deny.)

#scanner Vehicle fire at Walker and Sutton, appears unrelated to protests, relaying for proximity

#scanner They’re watching someone riding an ATV

#admin insurrectionist Stephen Horn is watching protest activity and taking photos and videos. He's one of the people who stormed the Capitol on J6. Be careful, comrades, and stay vigilant!

#ground at least 3 undercovers walking around in the crowd, certainly more obvious than they think... the one in plaid and the guy next to him in maroon, and a Black guy who was with them in jeans, black UA boots, and black jacket

#stream protesters on megaphone giving speech. "I'm here because I am able, and he's my family, my community."

#stream shout out to the people who are bloc'ing up and concealing their faces, making the cops jobs harder especially if you could end up in a live stream. Remember, they don't care if you do anything illegal or not, they'll try to arrest you anyway. Stay vigilant, conceal your face and any identifying markers!

#stream "if we don't get no justice, they don't get no peace. If we don't get it, shut it down!"

#stream seeing the mutual aid setup of food and snacks and water for protesters, thanks to everyone who donated to the cause!

#ground reports that the undercovers are back and may be affiliated with news3. Unclear if security or UCs working with the media. Stay vigilant!

#stream there's about five people left at the protest BBQ site as we reach curfew

#admin our streams and scanners are quiet, and we hope everyone out there is okay. Stay together, stay vigilant!

#admin reminder as we hit curfew, if you're still otg: take an indirect route home and be aware that marked or unmarked police units may follow you or note your plates. Know your rights and know that if you get pulled over, you don't have to tell the cop where you were tonight.

#scanners reports of patrols heading back to their hotels. This would be the very unwelcome out of town guests that can get out and get bent.

#admin we're heading offline. Hope you all fostered community relationships today! Building community is a revolutionary act.

How to win at kettling – a guide for non-policemen
Created January 2011

"But how, exactly, do you play kettling? Well, first you'll need to split into two teams – attackers and defenders. Team A, the defenders, will be formed of disparate groups of individuals with broadly similar but occasionally conflicting aims. So as to best identify themselves, they should wear hoodies, masks and an expression of determined optimism. For Team A the aim of the game is to remain free and at liberty for as long as possible while expressing their opposition to the status quo.

The offensive team, Team B, will be smaller in number, better armed, and dressed like angry glowsticks. The aim of the game for Team B is to trap Team A in as small a space as possible and stop them from leaving, thereby eliminating their right to free expression. [...]"
