ThunderingThread:
Current overhead look of the protests in front of the parliament in #tbilisi against the new Foreign Agents Law. live feed looks like some of the police barricades have been torn down a entrance to the parliament building.
stills from the barricades coming down.
video of gas in the air around the parliament from about 1hour ago.
cops moved forward but retreated as a molotov was thrown into the middle ground.
around 5am protesters added materials and made a barricade with the burning car to obstruct police advances.
@ 5:30am Police move in to clear the barricade and put out the fire. objects are thrown at them as they advance down rustaveli ave in the city centre.
As the cops push forward, towards a barricade, a cop trips and falls while trying and failing to apprehend someone and protestors throw things at police.
It's almost 6am and there is still thousands of people in the streets engaging in push and pull battles with police. Cops have the crowd on the move and are being rough arrest some as they move.
Definitely an# ACAB vibe from the streets for the later evening and probably will start up again tomorrow.
I am closing up this thread and gonna make dinner, but finishing it off with some beautiful pics sent to me from the streets. xoxo
