We were blocking traffic was the excuse, and it's been explained that they block traffic, they're getting locked up. Good, thank you. 64, just pull those at West Carstrow, and we'll show it down. 22 X-ray, raise one bike, Barney. Radio to one bike, need one bike, Barney. On Barney. 22 X, send me like three or four of your bikes to the front, just so I have an extra couple of bikes to block more streets. Alright, they're on their way. Tom 60 to Tom, let me cut to the second on that. I'll let that run.

Police are aware of two individuals reportedly yelling at motorists near the protest route.

Oh, in the unit block of South number 3, there's two individuals, white males, black t-shirts, one's got green pants on, the other's got blue shorts on. Motorist stopped me and said that they were yelling and screaming at them. They look like they're waiting for the protest to come by. Holly 100. 100, okay, thank you for the info. Allegedly, this group is going to step off at any moment. I've been thinking that for an hour. We'll address that as we're going by.

Protesters are now moving against traffic on Walnut Street, with police allowing temporary closures as needed.

That's Sam 703. Sam 703, Barney. I just encountered two protesters blocking westbound traffic on Walnut at 4. I had them move, but they told me that the plan now is for the march to come the wrong way on Walnut Street. Charlie 100, they are, in fact, correct. They shouldn't be doing that, but I'm not going to make a big deal of it because we're allowing that, and we could actually put our closures into effect at any minute.

Traffic is being diverted south on 2nd Street to accommodate the protest march.

Citywide MBand · 0:31
Uh, lest I forget, we don't want traffic probably coming west on Walnut once we do this from 2nd. So, I'll divert traffic south on 2nd from Walnut once this march steps off. Have everything in good shape. Close intersections as they head north. They're saying they're going to 3rd and Arch, which I think means they're going to the Bessie Ross house. 22 Rack Treader, Charlie 100. I got two bikes, 5th and Locust, and you need two more at 3rd and.

100 to Tom 7 and 22. The way I'm seeing, we should probably put two blokes, Sarge and LT at, and to prevent them running into, getting stuck behind this protest. So we'll go 5th and Locust, and I have to assist 4th Street next, Sarge. 22, actually, I got that. I'll supply the two blokes, 5th and Locust.
