The scene right now. Stare off between Federal police and protesters. The Federal just moved backwards.

Phone got an "unlawful assembly" alert a bit ago. That's nice but, like, the cops are unbelievably outnumbered
If this was a riot, these cops would be absolutely fucked
But it's not a riot. It's a protest. So they're fine

2d Battalion, 7th Marines (2/7) is one of the most storied units in the Marine Corps. The 29 Palms battalions are the Marine Corps’ most combat ready units due to the higher quality training available at 29 Palms. It is not trained or equipped to conduct riot control or law enforcement operations.

They're really popping off now
They're shooting at a line of people waving American flags behind Road Closed signs. I think one person threw an egg maybe. It hit like 20 feet in front of the cops. This is obscene

Near City Hall, horse-mounted cops push protesters down the street, while others fire riot munitions at close range
