So much fear of a peaceful protest. Princess Leia said it best "The more you tighten your grip, the more (star systems) will slip through your fingers."

As long as those star systems can't vote, who cares?

If voting was the end all, be all, there would never be revolution.

... Yes, I clearly meant this sarcastically. As in suppressing star systems until, gosh, the Rebellion destroys your Death Star and who could have seen that coming?!
Suppressing vote and denying representation has been shown time and time again to ultimately backfire. But that's not important right here and now, in the present. Ensuring the profitable status quo is all that matters.

 

[Krisken]

Y'all keep saying things are clear. I'm not sure things are as clear as y'all think they are.

Here's about 25 minutes of the public peacefully protesting followed by an abrupt, pre-planned pepper spraying of the crowd.

 

[Krisken]

So many emotions. I don't know how to rate this. I've been proud, crying, and angry. I thought I was numb to this point, but I was wrong.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is the reason why there are body cameras.

 

[figmentPez]

I wonder how many body cameras are mysteriously malfunctioning right now.

 

[Krisken]

How long before police realize they are part of a corrupt system? That they are hurting the people they are supposedly serving and protecting. And how long before they care?

Violence at protests in Pittsburgh. Started by, you guessed it, outsider white kids.

Police stealing water from protestors.

They're breaking out the Occupy playbook: because these people have NOTHING TO DO BUT PROTEST, people are spending hours doing it. So the police are attacking protest supply lines to make it more difficult to keep protesters supplied. If the local businesses weren't already closed up, they'd be "advised" to deny people access to their toilets as well.

Milwaukee has a curfew tonight because they need to "protect property". Fuck property, our community needs to be heard! Oppression will not help us heal!

This piece of shit was shooting arrows at people, then played the victim on TV.

PS, when they said most people were arrested from out of state, they were lying because that's the wedge they want to drive into the protestors.

 

[Frank]

Fuck these people. Seriously. There's more of you in these places than them. Don't let them get away with this.

 

[Frank]

And remember, all this is because police would rather allow cities to burn to the fucking ground than let one of theirs get prosecuted for murder.

 

[figmentPez]

These people were on their own property, under their own roof, and were still assaulted by the police simply for being available targets.

So who's going to be first to have the police fighting the National Guard? Because that's where we're headed.

They're very much happily on the same side.

SHOCKER, in Flint Michigan, where the cops laid down their shields and marched with the protestors, NO VIOLENCE AND LOOTING.
