I’m going to the Whipple Federal building in Minneapolis. CNN will be doing a live interview. Maybe in a half hour to an hour

Be nice. Boy ain’t it nice. Be nice. Take my advice. If you’re in control and have priorities, come with me and hunt down authorities. Be nice. (With your camera).

Taken from Jessy Wells, but changed to meet my needs.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.
