Well, that was quite the day.
Back at the encampment, where the City took 2 tents and terrified one more resident into leaving (and then stole a bunch of his belongings as he took a load of his stuff elsewhere 🤬).
Considered stopping by one more action on the way home, but it's apparently been cancelled.
Home it is, then.
Willis will be happy with that.
The fact they're doing this METRES AWAY FROM THE LITERAL HOMELESS MEMORIAL is disgusting as shit.
In about 15 mins I have to dip briefly for a protest (there are 2 other LOs here rn), but the residents have approved the callout for more bodies on the ground for the pending clearing that the motherfuckers absolutely confirmed is happening.
Unfriendly reminder that at St Stephen's, the motherfuckers waited us out and didn't do THAT clearing until night.
Apparently, the City needs the park empty to "repair the grass and fix the paving stones".
Fuck everything.

I am too old for overnighters. Gotta train me some more youts.
I guess I have to finish writing/assembling the advanced LO training first.
Long week of little sleep.

As expected, every fash media asshole in this city is here, because they're disappointed that they missed last year's shit show.
Also, cops out the wazoo.

(Yes, that's me in the Orange Hat holding a sign for less than 2 minutes, before the dickhead cops rolled up and made me go watch them while they pointlessly guarded the courthouse EXIT. A weird attempt to intimidate people, I guess.)

All righty!
Beginning of a very long week it is!
Last week, though, was all about the new CopWatch trainings.
I love teaching law students.
Even the obvious douchebags*.

(*Not in last week's class since it was a special case. The upcoming ones are general student body ones, though.)

It's always entertaining to me to be spotted by the cops while going about my business. I just got spotted by a bike cop who nearly fell off his bike watching me instead of where he was going.
And just to make it clear, he uttered a little exclamation:
What the heck!
Well, sir, It could be that I just went and grabbed some dinner. It could also be that I'm on my way to a protest.
I guess you'll find out soon enough.
