  some of what i've seen. not "riots" as in "people burning banks" so much as "police attacking people."

  

  

  

  

  i have been out photographing a handful of nights so far and have been gassed, shot and swung at by police (all in portland).

  the social definition of a riot somehow constituting a corporate building on fire from a minor act of vandalism infuriates me. the police have been instigating far worse violence against actual people every fucking night.

  • are they really our spaces. shared space comes with rules from management. i protest daily taking a dog off leash where it says leashs mandatory.
