On 12-09-2021 at 1125, a protest began at West Marginal WY SW and SW Andover. Teamsters are conducting the protest with 5-6 protesters at a time working in teams from 0630-1600 hours. They are blocking trucks from leaving the business for two minutes and then allowing them to leave. They are not stopping trucks from coming into the yard. A caller reported getting into a disturbance with the protestors and, during the course of the disturbance, the caller claimed they used racial and homophobic slurs against him. I was unable to contact him to get any further information. The Teamsters denied using any racial/homophobic slurs. They reported a driver almost ran them over and they had an exchange of curse words and that was it. The Teamster organizer added that they never use language like that as it makes them look bad and takes away bargaining tools that they could use. I notified Bias crime coordinators.
