# protest rights precinct occupation porta potties black lives matter breonna taylor chop community garden community gardens emerys essentials peaceful protest police precincts

CHOP Insider provides a grand tour of an autonomous zone where Black Lives Matter protesters peacefully occupy a precinct, maintaining unsanitary porta potties and planning a garden with tomatoes and carrots. Despite criticism labeling them animals, the group emphasizes their right to protest daily, displaying art honoring Breonna Taylor while rejecting paid labor for volunteers. Ultimately, this grassroots effort challenges systemic neglect by creating a self-sustaining community space amidst ongoing police presence. [Automatically generated summary]

A Protest Decorated 00:03:33
We have the porta potties.
These porta potties get cleaned by the community all the time.
Get refilled toilet paper.
If you go in there and want to check it out, I don't want to go in there because it's not really sanitary right now, you know?
When you come in this, all right, this is just an occupied protest for Black Lives Matter.
So just whenever you walk in here, you're getting the message.
You know what I mean?
That's the point of like trying to decorate this whole thing with that.
You know what I mean?
So when you come in here, just get the message.
That's all.
When you leave, you're going to be like, yeah, I just went to a Black Lives Matter protest and I had a good time.
Shit like that, you know?
That's what you're going to say.
We don't want it to be about anything else.
Like you went to this, you went to that.
It's not that.
So it's really just a different style of protest.
Yeah.
It's literally.
There's no right way.
There's no wrong way to protest.
We literally was out there chanting, we're not leaving every day.
You know what I mean?
We took it there.
Every day, we're not leaving.
We're posted up in front of the precinct.
The precinct is right over there.
You know what I mean?
So that's why.
Simple.
I appreciate you.
Thank you, brother.
Appreciate you.
We have the porta potties.
These porta potties get cleaned by the community all the time.
Get refilled toilet paper.
If you go in there and want to check it out, I don't want to go in there because it's not really sanitary right now, you know?
But it gets cleaned.
This morning we had a truck come here and clean them, unload the waste that was in there.
You know what I mean?
That's what the coming for free of charge.
There's nothing.
These men probably didn't get paid to do that, but they're just out here trying to support this, this whole cause right now.
Come on, guys.
I'm going to take you guys over here by the kitchen because this is really neat.
You know what I mean?
I want to explain.
This, there's a garden.
The garden, the garden is going to be expanded as much as we can.
We want the garden to be big.
We want not only plants, we want trees, want beautiful flowers.
We want the garden to be having tomatoes, carrots, potatoes, everything that's amazing for the body.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Go for that.
But.
And over here, this, this, this, This is the art that I'm talking about.
When I came and tell you guys that whenever you come here, we have art everywhere.
There's Breonna Taylor.
This is chop.
When you leave, you're going to see these things.
You're going to take picture by because you think it's cool, but it's still sending a message.
People are still going to look at that photo and see the message that's still in here.
We're not doing anything that's not sending the message that Black Lives Really Matter.
And this is not an Atomic Zone or Automized Zone.
This is a protest still, guys.
Peaceful protest.
Peaceful protest, though.
There's no way Blake could kill us with peaceful protest.
And this is how peaceful it is.
We have an opportunity to kitchen over here.
No, no, no.
It's fine.
It's fine.
No, it's not.
For our staff, we would prefer it if you didn't.
I'll promise you guys response.
I'll talk about it in sponsor.
I appreciate it, but we are still asking you.
This is the good part that the VARC is.
Right now, we're here promoting Andy.
Look like Andy, guys.
And they have to see that we have a kitchen.
Yes, they do.
I know, I know, I know.
But the fact that they're treated as animals, they're portraying as animals is fucked up.
That's what I'm trying to say.
Just show them that we got it.
I told you, this is a sister.
We got a sis over here.
Didn't I say that, guys?
Yeah, sis over here.
Just a kitchen.
That's actually the cookbook.
