HOW DID I NOT HEAR ABOUT THIS
If you're not from Argentina, please read this carefully
I have no words to describe the pain I feel. after 40 years of democracy, my country elected a party whose only goal is to be a colony once again, to sell the country to Elon Musk, to the USA and the UK, to have our sovereignty impugned and erased.
I remember the video of USAmerican congressists calling Argentina an "important asset for the United States". I remember when we told all of you to be vigilant because this was gonna turn into a genocide.
Tomorrow, the Mega DNU (Decree of Necessity and Urgency) is going to overrule most of our constitutional rights, and yesterday the Omnibus Law was presented to congress, including measures that make it illegal to gather in public without permission (state of siege), and make it so that protest is a crime. We will have to pay for the bullets that kill us, and cops will have absolute legal immunity to hunt us.
Word for word, a dictatorship. Fascism.
We've already gone through this many times, but I want to see worldwide protests about this. I want the UN to intervene. I want the world to make noise.
What worries me is this is not an isolated case. With many genocides going on worldwide, if the world fails Argentina, this will be the blueprint for all of the world.
Make no mistake, what happens here will happen everywhere there's natural resources and sovereignty. If not through overt genocide, through an extremely libertarian far right that wins elections by manipulating people, funded by Elon Musk. A second Operation Cóndor.
dear fellow non-Black queers,
please remember: stonewall was a riot.
it was 5 days of violent demonstrations against the police led by Black queer and trans people.
now, we need to join the fight against racially motivated police violence.
lgbt+ people, we are obligated to stand with #Blacklivesmatter.
if you don’t support the current riots, don’t bother celebrating pride either.
TW - police brutality against innocent people.
Videos like this? Disgusting misuse of power. If this video surprises you, you haven’t seen enough cops. If it upsets you, good. It should.
Using excessive violence on women, typical ziopigs lapdogs.
ITS A LONG VIDEO, BUT YOU CAN DO IT. WATCH THIS, EVERY WORD.
-No video TW other than loud noises, yelling, chants-
“There are principles and there are human lives that matter more than our careers and our futures. …the commitment to Gaza runs deeper than fears for our safety, fears for our careers, fears for our paychecks. It is a fundamental obligation we have as citizens of a country that is presiding over, arming this genocide, and as students at a university that is invested in those same weapons manufacturers and that has partnered with the same apartheid institutions that train that military and develop its technology. …For me the next step is a simple one… to keep fighting with every breath we have, with everything we have for the people of Gaza, because the blood of those kids is on our hands…”
If we can’t put stopping this brutality before our own fears about career, reputation, fucking profits - we’ve misunderstood the assignment of being a human.

‼️EVERY SINGLE HUMAN BEING NEEDS TO WATCH AND HEAR THIS INTERVIEW‼️
This Memorial Day remember... Police have killed more Americans in the last 10 years than all the troops who have died in wars since 9/11.
On the 18th of May 2024 in hannover germany police attacked a group of queer people with pepperspray who rallied in support of a squat established by a queerfeminist group next to the route of the citys pride parade. Do not let the cops tell you they are our allies they will turn on us the first chance they get.
Just a reminder that cops are not and have never been a part of the csd

It feels like we have this conversation every single time someone is murdered by the police, where there are well-intentioned but still very self-centered leftists insisting that photos and videos of the victim's murder and body be spread to "raise awareness" while the victim's actual loved ones and community desperately plead with the world to stop spreading that shit. It's exhausting and I don't understand why it keeps happening, why we need to go over this every single damn time, why we as a society are incapable of not turning someone's last horrific and painful moments into something to gawk at.
Tw: police brutality, anti-minority, hatecrimes
Anti-minority people: *makes fun of minorities for not liking anti-minority jokes*
Minorities: oh damn man, your right! Lemme just get hatecrimed for no reason, shall I? Or would you rather me get beaten to death by a cop who is a bit biased and/or having a bad day? Wow, lookit how privileged and temperamental I am haha (/s)!
(some minority people do like anti-minority jokes as long as it's not actually harmful and/or it is sarcastic or it is hyperbolic, however some minority people do not like these jokes. Therefore, I urge you to pay attention to timing, the people you're around, and choose your word choices carefully to not hurt someone.)
Police: we are here to serve and protect you.
Also Police: A MINORITY IS SERVING MY MCDOUBLE!?!? *murders them for legitimately no reason* LETS GO FLASH BANG BABIES!!!
a man, who was 75 and posed no threat, got assaulted by the police. he was pushed to the ground and left bleeding from the ear. he was put into critical condition (I am unaware how he is doing now sadly, as the article I read didn't name him). guess what he was protesting?
police brutality. namely that against George Floyd.
NFL star in handcuffs:
It remains to be seen what the consequences of the incident will be for the players involved.
Shortly before the start of the NFL season, superstar Tyreek Hill was temporarily taken into custody as part of a traffic stop. As a result, the pass receiver and his team were asked to take a critical stance towards the player. The police justify their actions.
The police had previously released video footage from bodycams documenting the stop. The published video footage shows Hill sitting in a black sports car. A police officer approaches his vehicle and Hill hands the officer something through the lowered window. The window is then rolled up again.
The police officer then asks him to lower the window again, but Hill does not do so. Another police officer then forcefully opened the driver's door, whereupon Hill was pulled out of the vehicle and pinned to the ground. An officer pressed his knee into Hill's back, whereupon he was handcuffed.
‘I still don't know what happened,’ Hill said after the NFL opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars (20-17) and criticised: ’What if I wasn't Tyreek Hill? God knows what those officials would have done.’
The Dolphins wrote in their statement that this was ‘a reminder’ that ‘not every situation like this ends peacefully, and we are grateful that it did in this one.’
There are ‘some officers who confuse their responsibility and dedication with misguided power’, it continued: ‘We commend the MDPD (Miami Dade Police Department, ed.) for taking the proper and necessary action and releasing this footage so quickly, but also urge them to take equally swift and decisive action against the officers who behaved so abhorrently.’
Hill uncooperative according to police
No, Power abuse in its purist form.
It's interesting how many cops turned up on the tray for a normal traffic stop!
Any non-POC citizen would have had no problem getting into his car and the traffic stop would not have happened, this is structural racism!
The black man with the big fat car fits the image of police officers abusing their power.
Throw them out, they have no place in the police force, at most as security guards in a shopping centre car park.
mod
Of course, first investigate properly and then throw them out, that's just our opinion, then jobs will open up for more capable people with a greater sense of responsibility and the appropriate de-escalation skills.
Cops on Steroids?
Is that the problem? It's interesting when a professional athlete looks like an untrained citizen against a normal patrolman, isn't it?
I can only puke for the steroid pumped up cops with their bullshit core spirit.
Do a test on steroids with one of them - I bet you'll be surprised.
Say her name - Helen Ahmadi. She was 7 years old and killed by the IRGC.

When I was twenty I was almost shot by a police officer because of my mental illness. I was peeling bark off a tree on public property to calm my anxiety.
Two officers pulled up very quietly in a squad car while I had my back turned. They did not announce their arrival. When I noticed them approaching me by the sound of their footsteps, I was frightened and reached for my phone to record them. They thought I was going for a weapon and one reached for his pistol. I put my hands up.
They illegally detained me and took my ID to run a background check. The one who had started to draw his gun on me asked me if I’d had any thoughts of hurting myself or others.
My background check came up clean. They released me and told me I wasn’t doing anything illegal. I went to my car and bawled my eyes out, thinking about how I’d almost died for the crime of “weird behavior.”
Don’t give these pigs a registry of the mentally ill. They’re already trying to kill us for no good reason.
REPOSTING THIS BECAUSE IF THIS DOESNT SHOW HOW THE POLICE ARE SPECIFICALLY TARGETING BLACK PEOPLE THEN I DONT KNOW WHAT WILL
What kind of threat could a six year old girl possibly pose to an armed police officer to the point where he feels the need to arrest her?!
there is no reason good enough to arrest a 6 year old, this is purely racist
Unarmed Black Man With Hands Up Shot By Police.
Charles Kinsey, 47, a behavior therapist from South Florida was shot in the leg three times by the police in North Miami while laying on the ground with his arms up and trying to help his patient with autism who had run away from a group home.
It all started when someone called 911 and said there was a man walking around with a gun. However it was Kinsey’s patient who was sitting on the ground cross-legged, playing with a toy truck.
Charles got shot by police despite telling them he was only trying to help his patient.
The police shot him, handcuffed him and left him on ground bleeding.
North Miami police have not released much information at all. They haven’t released the officer’s name, they haven’t given us an update on the investigation. However, they did say that the state attorney is now a part of this investigation.

People say "Arrest the cops who killed Breonna Taylor" but don't even know who those cops are.
Their names are Brett Hankison, Jonathan Mattingly, and Myles Cosgrove.
ARREST BRETT HANKISON, JONATHAN MATTINGLY, AND MYLES COSGROVE.
7.26.20, Seattle
Local Seattle police begin a random attack on a group on protestors, including macing someone excessively while they’re already on the ground. Notice how they’re covering their badges. These aren’t “trump’s” feds, these are local police.
What is happening in Poland?
