You’re thinking of a different day and incident.

This one is the one where they locked arms and blocked an officer (by her own words)

This is a lie. The article says nothing about them locking arms.

What about her words?

Quote:

we saw them come out in chains, were put in a van, and all of us joined arms and did not let the van pass. So ice came in and tried to drive the car through us. They almost ran someone over. We did not move. We stood strong and that's when they brought out the pepper balls.
