I was surprised to see these photos and my first thought was I hope you're not there. We have a photographer in the Photography Lovers community who is shooting at protest, he has some posts on the protests in Louisville.
I know what's going on there but had no time to dig into it, so thanks for sharing these photos. Years ago I was part of a similar experience and although I only got one machine gun pointed at me, I can tell you it's not a fun experience 😬
