I cannot believe what I just witnessed. They pulled up onto the square with a police siren on and did this. #Louisville pic.twitter.com/65o2lgZCJh

Ali Velshi was on camera when police attacked him and his team with no provocation, all on video. There were no protestors on the street. https://t.co/AFyZkEmnOf

This is an open thread.
Just want to add this:
This has always been horrifying to me – the militarization of local law enforcement. Against us – the people. Tanks rolling down residential neighborhood streets – why? Where’s the corresponding threat?
Statistics for domestic abuse among law enforcement are horrible – much higher than the general public. Chauvin’s wife could very well be fleeing abuse. Stats range as high as 40%.
And can we please drug-test these goons? I’m sorry – this is an old trope but I think there’s a lot of steroid abuse involved here. I knew someone who’s young husband accidentally killed himself with steroids and he was a cop.
Anon hacked the Minneapolis police department and city hall …
Family members are planning to march in Spokane tonight…
I am so conflicted about the marches. The cause is righteous but the virus does not care. It doesn’t care whether you’re being an idiot in a pool party or working in a slaughterhouse to survive or putting yourself on the line for peace and truth and justice.
These marches are going to turn into a corresponding spike in cases.
And yet. Jamming the phone lines just doesn’t feel the same.
I don’t know what we can do, but I’m horribly afraid this isn’t it.
I agree with you about the COVID concern. I’m struggling more with passing the torch. It’s one thing for me to do it, and another to watch my children, and others children..I feel quite impotent, and that I failed them, that they should have to defend against this National infestation of vipers. sad, outraged, fearful, determined
