The defense of the police here is not surprising considering that Mr. Jaywork was suckling up to those Proud Boy fascist wankers.  He took pictures of people without permission or and discussion and made up information about their alignments and afiliating - labeling them antifa and making them targets for the kind of attacks this article describes.  A couple of Proud Boys tried to assult one of those folks in a parking deck elevator later.  And when the fascists attacked the crowd, police moved in, and pepper spray was deployed, Mr. Jaywork moved beyond his role as a journalist.  He felt moved to render aid . . . to one of the Proud Boys.  Why he was carrying liquid antacid wash is his business.  Why he sided with someone who had just attacked a peaceful crowd is something I think we'd all like to know.  Is it true, Mr Jaywork?  Are you a  cryptofascist?  Or just a Vichy ass bootlicker?  Enquiring minds want to know!
