Here’s how it’s going down tonight. Police seem to be swarming vehicles and arresting those out past curfew. I attempted to get out of my car to shoot video and was approached by officers with guns pulled and was told to get on the ground. Here’s part one. @NBC12 pic.twitter.com/jFJ71kdBvy

I was told I was fine with my credentials. I then tried to get video of the arrest, with my door open, and another officer reached in and grabbed me. We were then told to leave. @NBC12 pic.twitter.com/7X4Nsuyvfb

I’m in downtown #FXBG – earlier today protests were peaceful – I am here…. not race baiting but white kids just flipped over trash cans and riding around in pickup trucks and cars revving engines – listen to this black kid “were better than that….. tear up their own place…” pic.twitter.com/g8LoLSLTy4

P.S. This isn’t in Virginia, but it’s Virginia Del. Ibraheem Samirah…after getting teargassed in Lafayette Square last night in DC.
I represent the DC area in the Virginia House of Delegates. Last night, the police tear gassed me anyway. (1/5) pic.twitter.com/dc4B2JXHLm

My constituents, along with countless others across the country, were exercising their right to protest yesterday. The cops didn’t care. They instigated riots by firing into our peaceful crowd & charging towards us for no reason.
Elected officials are not spared. (2/5) pic.twitter.com/laxd5WTAl0

These scenes of authoritarianism were coming out of DC last night, not my motherland. (3/5) pic.twitter.com/7uRvGFhS0t

They can try to intimidate us. We won’t stop. We won’t stop chanting “Hands up, don’t shoot.” We won’t stop demanding justice, for #GeorgeFloyd & everyone else killed by our system.
