I’ve been checking in on Portland the past few nights and can’t help but think people like youtuber Veterans for Peace (who otherwise is tough as hell and battle-hardened, and the police tactics being used should be studied from his high angle, high quality footage–especially with the Fed being deployed, these current strategies, tactics, and specific weapons and munitions will be seen more widely) are doing the pig a huge favor. Especially when filming people creeping around the courthouse. The cops cutoff inside–peeking through their trapdoors and dumping out gas, flashbangs, and firing pepper balls and rubber bullets–would have way less idea what was going on outside if these streamers delayed their streams. I can’t think of another way. Any ideas? They’re just giving up so much free, real-time intel :(

    This, I really think ppl shouldn’t live stream at protests… everyone from 4chan nerds to police will be watching the stream, and everyone whose face isn’t covered is now in a database. Waiting a few hours, uploading the most important snippets after blurring faces of those w/o consent, is the best way to go.
