‘There have been drones up there all night‘
By Grabien Staff

EXCERPT:

VELSHI: “It was minutes because we were last on TV just a little before nine together. And it really it had a feeling of being over to, to rob’s point, there are drones. There have been drones up there all night. So there is video of what happened. And what we did is we went back as we saw all of these police start to collect. We we wanted to understand what was going on. So we started heading back. And we were warned several times by protesters who were walking away to say, you’re going to get arrested if you go that way. So at no point and we are trained to interact with police and to understand what is and is not legal. And we were we got pretty far, as you saw, when we first when you first came back on air, we were pretty close. We were probably, you know, within, within 500ft of, of Delaney Hall. And then we started to get escorted back. And here is the problem. This is the central problem. There are drones, there are images. There’s a big. The biggest thing in front of Delaney Hall is a device that is a police camera to see what’s going on.”
