I saw something from an anti-censorship organisation saying that there wasn’t an internet blackout in DC. However if it was just a small area where the crowd and the armed riot police were, perhaps it wouldn’t be noticed on the larger scale. I’m not denying that the authorities would be prepared to block internet to censor what is happening, I just don’t think we have enough information to know specifics like that.
I don’t mean to distract from the shit the police are doing. Seeing them open fire with an assault rife is scary, especially when you can’t see what/who they’re shooting at.
