Strickland[edit]

Aquillion, in reading The Hill I think they mean Strickland was holding the video camera, not the protestors as a group holding a video camera. A video appears to show the man, identified by the Oregonian as 36-year-old Michael Strickland, arguing and backing away from protesters holding what appears to be a video camera. In the video I see a camera inside of what looks like a plastic milk jug with a monopod out the bottom. I figured I would see what you think before making article level changes.

I agree with Springee's interpretation. The Hill's description is kind of ambiguous, but the video clearly shows Strickland holding a camera in one hand before pulling the gun with the other. –dlthewave ☎ 19:43, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
