Seeing some photos online that did not make it into the media, its clear the rocks that are noe famous only appeared after the cops had been pepper spraying, shooting, and lobbing granades at anti-racists for two hours

the police picked them up from outside the state library, where they had forced the rally back to by the end of the day
