"The men all ran. Only the women stayed that day. . . . We went to fight the #police with punches and kicks . . . When they tried to arrest the woman, we surrounded the car and we all screamed, 'Let her go' . . . When the police said, 'We’re going to shoot,' we said, 'Go ahead, you can kill us, but we’re not leaving her, no.' . . . When they saw that we weren’t going to give in, they let her go."
