RUSH EXCERPT:
K. PAUL: “It was terrifying. I have never experienced anything like that in my life. I hope no one else does too. We felt completely powerless. Before some of the video that I think you have shown where the police with the bikes were kind of creating a moving barricade for us, in the minutes before the police with the bike showed up, we were completely encircled and surrounded pressed up against two cops who we were surrounded by people who were screaming in our faces, yelling that they were going to fs up. Screaming say her name and at one point, at first I was trying to look in their eyes and trying to have any kind of reason or to see someone is a human being and I realized they did not seem us as human beings. We were Trump supporters so they absolutely despised us, even though we were in a situation and may be coded talked to some of those folks and they knew about his background in criminal justice reform and the things that I’ve spoken out on, we could have had agreement but in that moment it was a bloodthirsty mob and all I could think of was the man who was kicked in the head in Portland we could go. Or the man whose jaw was broken or an eight -year-old sequoia turner.”
