Scene at the Stuart statue.
Protesters saying they’re not leaving. Haven’t seen an unlawful assembly tweet from RPD, which the department said it would send in these situations.
I see at least 20 officers in riot gear.
Ropes still on the statue.
This is what RPD said would happen. Still haven’t seen a tweet. If I missed it, my DMs are open.
Looks like members of the state police are here.
