Last week I got to meet Joe Berlinger, a documentary hero of mine.

Tear Gas & Rubber Bullets: The National Guard Has Moved In
Getting tear gassed by the National Guard fucking sucks. Everything stings, you can’t breathe, and you can’t see. You can hear just fine — the almost comical pop-pop-pop of more tear gas canisters arcing over the crowd. It strikes you how everyone has their own unique cough; their own way of sounding when they splutter. Like many of you, last night I heard that Donald Trump was allegedly sending 2000 members of the National Guard to LA, all with the purpose of stopping the terrible violent protests against all the ICE raids and deportations going on in this city. Of course there has been little to no violence — he just wants to swing his tiny lizard dick around, and stoke fear. His dream, I imagine, is conflict. “See, look, the people of LA are out of control,” he’ll mumble and dribble, distracted by whatever bugs are buzzing around in his sloppy mess of a brain. I saw there was a planned protest outside City Hall at 2pm — so I drove downtown at 10am to get an early start.
