The pig sees her, turns, aims, and shoots her almost point blank.
C'mon, the camera was coming straight for him!
the cop probably mistook that ~~acorn~~ camera for a rocket launcher that you carry on your shoulders. they had legitimate reason to feel threatened.
While I detest violence in all forms, and respect peaceful protest and the power of the ballot box; it seems like the current administration is doing everything it can to disenfranchise the voters of this country, and preemptively using violence against peaceful protesters. I hope things don’t tip too far, because while Americans don’t riot like the French at the drop of a hat, there is an enormous amount of anger simmering among the working class people in this country, and I’d hate to see that erupt. If it does come to a head it will make the Paris riots like a sunny day on Lake Geneva.
A large part of that working class is fully captive to the corporate media narratives, and voted for Trump last November. They support this.
Americans are packing more heat than the French. We won't ever organize to shut down the country, but there will be more executions and attempted murders like the United Health CEO.
As people fall into despair most will rot away silently, but a minority will decide to take somebody with them.
america may have tons of guns, but when what's probably the majority of them are owned by people who seemingly approve of what's happening, will there ever be the necessary large scale resistance?
How about we organize instead? Make it a goal to go to the protest this weekend, meet one person whose sign you like, get their contact details and agree to meet up at the next protest. It’s that easy to get the ball rolling.
Protest would be more effective to effect change, and I will be doing my part in my city.
and mostly targeting blue counties too.
Surely that guy will now be fired and charged with assault? This was completely unwarranted.
