1. I'm hearing from several reputable sources..

That right wing, possibly armed, counterprotestors are planning to stir up trouble downtown today.

3. I would not be terribly surprised that happens

I am surprised that elected public officials, who should be known to the PD got pepper sprayed

5. That doesn't surprise me, either.

I’ve seen video over the last few days of CPD walking up to people walking alone, away from the crowd, minding their own business, and shooting them point blank in the face with mace. They are terrorists. They are racist terrorists. All they see is brown skin.

6. Wouldn't surprise me in the least.

Wondering if the authorities have heard same? Today is the first emergency alert received on my phone telling peeps to stay away from downtown.

7. I know. That was shocking.

I’ve lived here over forty years, that’s a lot of OSU football game riots, and I’ve never seen anything like that before.

2. Silly me. I thought the cop was going to help the woman up.

Instead he maces her. Big threat, unarmed woman flat on the ground.

4. They've got a nice still photo of that cop

That’s macing the woman who is down on her knees-it’s making the rounds on Twitter. Comments are similar to yours

8. That photographer is doing good work
