#ground scoggins is here w a deputy mayor having conversations. there was a people's assembly planned for 2 on the field to include the mayor. apparently she's not comfy with meeting in the field so the public meeting will be in a church on 14th
#ground the mayor is holding a meeting at 2pm in a.m.e. church at 14th and pike. we are also hearing that the city will be swept at that time. the mayor HAS USED THIS TACTIC BEFORE and distracted defenders from a tent city with a meeting at a church! we need bodies defending the tent city from the north side!
#ground team of sdot hanging out and chilling and eating lunch with a truck at 13th and pine with vests
#ground parks and rec team with some porto potties on the north side of the park. no sign of cops or sdot, no sign of a sweep happening

stephanie an assistant of the mayor and sdot negotiated with David, rooks, and a couple others

#ground to be clear, we do not have a special need for bodies to defend the tent city right now. the city agreed to hold off on touching chop for 72 hrs.
spread this info in case they break their promise

#livestream hearing that they only allowed "up to 25 people" inside the church
#twitter Omari's tweet seems to confirm that there's at least 22 people who are part of the discussion. This does not seem very democratic. https://twitter.com/Omarisal/status/1276638606719766528

sounds like there was a shooting down in South Precinct near 51 s and oregon about 25 minutes ago. response is still ongoing.
"if we could get 2 more long guns to respond, check city wide", "suspect is in a vehicle with a gun to his head", "he's starting to negotiate that he'd be willing to put the gun down if we give him a bottle of wine", "negotiations are going well"
they are allocating a LOT of resources down there, they sent a harbor unit down there who was like "what can I do to help from the water" once he showed up, there was no response.
west precinct is "spread very thin" right now
