Darren Wilson, the officer responsible for the murder of Michael Brown, will once again not be charged with any crime follwing a new investigation. Michael Brown was an unarmed 18 year old whose murder sparked #HandsUpDontShoot and the Black Lives Matter movement back in the summer of 2014. The court system was never designed for justice, despite its claims, and it still works that way today.

Micheal Brown is the reason I learned about the court and prison system back in high school. I learned everything I could about the legal system, prisons, segregation, police, and it radicalized me.

6 years later and the system hasn’t changed, but we have. And we will change the system.

Racism pervades all aspects in our lives, even when we are doing something as natural and human and universal as giving birth or being born.

Stay safe and educate! ✊🏽

Hello

I am personally sending this to all of my followers. I don’t know if you are in the US or you have been paying attention to what is happening to us. But we need help. Please share.

Unarmed and nonviolent citizens are being beaten, arrested, kidnapped, and killed for protesting our fascist and racist government.

I don’t know who here is currently outside of the US. But we need help. Our psychotic president is sending secret police all over the country to kidnap people. I have been protesting Portland since June 3rd. Last week one of my friends was tear gassed and thrown into an unmarked van. I have not seen or heard from her since then. We have tried calling every county jail in Oregon, along with ever hospital in the Portland area. Absolutely nothing.

Last night a group of protesters were beaten and gassed right in front of us. I had began to record and an officer came over and threw my phone on the ground. Stomped on it. And then bashed me in the head.

They are destroying our video evidence

We have done nothing wrong.

Our president yesterday said that if protests don’t stop. He will deploy more military and department of homeland security officers to major cities like Chicago, New York, and Detroit.

We are not armed, we are not violent. We are not looting. We are not rioting. Yet we are being beaten, kidnapped, and killed for using our constitutional rights.

The people of America need help. Please. If you are currently outside of the US please. Share this. Our government is out of control and has arguably the strongest military force in the world.

Please help us. Please let the rest of the world know what’s happening.

Third in a series of comics about safe and conscientious protesting in a time of pandemic. Stay safe. Stay woke. Stay angry

This man, Mac Smiff, has put it out there crystal clear:

“We came out here dressed in t-shirts and twirling hula hoops and stuff, and they started gassing us. So we came back with respirators, and they started shooting us. We came back with vests, they started aiming for the head. So we started wearing helmets. And now they call us terrorists. Who is escalating this? It’s not us.”
