I think that's just a Waymo. They were calling them in to where the cops were entrenched and lighting them on fire for the last bit of the drive.

yeah assuming it wasn't super obviously coordinated, all hailed by one person, etc. this is true (and it'd be bad PR to go after them if it wasn't an airtight case). fucking hasan hailed an uber or whatever like 2 blocks from the protest to go home, live on stream, the waymos were hailed early enough in the protest to be very plausibly deniable

Oh so they were using them as weapons? I kept thinking it was kinda dumb to just be destroying cars for no reason

The Waymos were being used to send camera footage of the protests to the pigs.

But the protesters were calling them though

Column A, column B

ah your right. i forgot those had the lights that look like sirens on them

Understandable, really. The scorch marks on the one in the back make it look like it has the cop car black-and-white paint job.
