Vice has two livestreams going and constant reporting. A number of twitter streams, including MSNBC. I linked the vice stream earlier. Also getting linked to other stuff coming out as it happens by other people. In a thread I'm in on another forum there's several people who are actually there so I'm getting some first hand discussion as well (You can see one of their pictures on the wikipedia page now)

There is now an armored unisegwaycyclist riding around, btw, carrying a drone.

Half an hour before curfew hits, the vice camera was damaged so it will probably die just around then.

... I must see this armored unicyclist.

[smjjames]

Arnoured unicyclist? Pics or it didn't happen, lol.

Aneways, unless those streams have 99% accurate captioning, I don't watch video streams because I'm hard of hearing.

... I must see this armored unicyclist.

Same here, lol.

Oh a segway, that's different, still though, pics?

But yeah, anyway, they're saying that a group within the protestors got violent and things just kind of devolved from there.

You can rewind the vice stream. Obviously no captioning for a live stream.

And it wasn't a segway segway, it was a segway unicycle.

How do I kill that comment sidebar? it's absolutely frothing with rabid trolls.

nvm, found the button.

Tried to take a screenshot of the video but it was garbage.

Here's a picture of what the device he was riding was though.

Edit:
Real news, reports of a dead body on Chambers. That's where all the police in the Vice stream were heading when they left their token force behind.

I like it. It really brings the whole thing together, I think.

I don't think all of the spammers are entirely serious. My favorites:

All of a sudden the vice stream reporters are in a hurry to get somewhere.

[GlyphGryph]

Trying to get to chambers, I think. And also figure out where the heck they are supposed to be for the curfew. I hear 'going to Target'.

"There a dead white guy in the middle of Chambers, at least I think he's dead. He has a swastika tattoo on his arm."

[Sergarr]

what is even happening

[GlyphGryph]

Looks like it was a car accident?

[smjjames]

I think CNN is at the same scene? Theres a semi there, so maybe someone got hit by a truck, I dunno.

Whatever it is, they're now leaving that on the livestream.

[GlyphGryph]

Someone just ran up to Tim's window and shoved a whole bunch of iphone cables into his hands, saying that they can't silence the media, and then ran off.

They lost one of their posse apparently, who was doing the navigating.

[GavJ]

They keep saying a lot of gunshots were heard in the area, then the police reported it was a car accident

For some reason they didn't ask any of the bystanders what was going on.

Things seem to have settled down. Have a couple streams, primarily Vice at the moment, recapping:

1. Fireworks went off. No shots fired. (Vice reporter)
2. No evidence of Molotovs (AP reporter)
3. No reports of movement on the Police Command area from anyone beyond that one report from the police. (Unsourced, so might still be true)
4. Cart accident, 4 hospitalized, 1 maybe dead. (basically everyone)
5. Curfew is now in effect, reporters are now in their "safe reporting zone" well away from where anything is happening, so streams will be a lot less interesting from here on out. Last of the vice crews just surrendered to police.

Cops on last vice stream right now saying they've been shot at "dozens of times" and its incredibly dangerous and they need to go directly to the media area. Cops refusing to give statements, lots of riot cops "escorting" them.
