Anyone know what's going on from any live feeds? Argus Radio think something big went down that the police don't want to have covered. Can anyone confirm?
Furthermore, I keep seeing police but no National Guard units. Has anyone seen the Guard at all?

But he's gotta detour to get gas before trying to get in there.
But he's really pissed off by the way they're being led around.

No helmets and no weapons. I'm not for bringing the army out, but if you're going to do it they should be prepared and doing more than standing around. It's just another strange part of the response.
