#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

#scanner west precinct is back in lockdown. they are moving all assets from the front of the location.
#ground the group at i5 left west precinct because the cops said they'd transfer Romaria clark to a place where bail can be posted if they left.
