An officer called the group agitators, which members of the crowd overheard. Another officer (unmasked one) stepped up to deescalate. The crowd grew more upset at his lack of mask. Then deputies pushed people in the front into an already dense crowd. pic.twitter.com/ZwQaXyTmAz

Yeah, nothing escalates matters more than trying to get blacks to de-escalate!
Correction: I’m seeing reports that his name is Dijon Kizzee, not Kizzie. I’m sorry for the mistake!
