I want to be crystal clear here... the Dayton police got violent first. As some protesters tried to outflank the line of bike cops, this officer, armed with a paintball gun, began firing on people. 
The police then donned gas masks and began threatening to disperse the crowd violently. I saw water splashed from a water bottle above the frontline before the first wide spread use of pepper spray. The only injured cop I saw was suffering from the effects of their own spray.
After a few minutes, a Dayton police cruiser drove into the back of the crowd and began forcing its way towards the line. The driver nearly hit several marchers, and several water bottles were thrown at the car, not at the officers in the line.

@JevinLamar ... @JevinLamar grew up in #Dayton, #Ohio where his life was not always easy. He spent time in a homeless shelter for teens. Now he's using this song to raise money for that shelter. It's called #DaybreakDayton.

@JevinLamar “If I wouldn't have went through that experience, I wouldn't be in the place that I am today,” says @JevinLamar. “They gave me food and shelter — and they cared. They really cared.” gregpalast.com/hip-hop-artist… #DaytonShooting #DaytonStrong #GunControlNow #BlackLivesMatter
So with all the crazy scary shit that has been taking place in our country I have been finding myself having feelings and emotions that I have not felt since the first few months after September 11th happened.

Only this time it’s our government that is either committing these horrible inhuman actions and or fanning the flames of the fires that are prompting people to commit these crimes. Quite frankly that is far scarier to me.

I am genuinely scared right now, even of people I have known for almost my whole life. I have heard words come out of people’s mouths in the last few days/weeks that have left me speechless, shocked, mortified, and terrified.
