for people who are unaware of why the riots in minneapolis started happening, here’s the facts:
it wasn’t george floyd’s protesters who started reacting violently; it was the cops.
the protest was peaceful until the cops showed up in riot gear, and started using water cannons, followed up by tear gas and rubber bullets. i got videos from friends who were there, of people screaming and running away from the cops shooting the water cannons, rubber bullets and throwing tear gas at them. they were even shooting at the protesters dragging people away to get medical attention.
speaking of medical attention, dispatch refused to provide any medical attention to the protesters. people literally had to drive their bleeding friends to the hospital because they refused to send ambulances.
cops are using non-lethal weapons in a lethal way. they shot rubber bullets into people’s heads and injured them. there’s dozens of photos of protesters with bleeding head wounds from the rubber bullets.
multiple people used police scanners and heard that there were undercover cops pretending to be violent protesters who were throwing rocks and whatnot at the police, with dozens of eyewitness accounts confirming that information.
the person who instigated all the chaos last night (it was a fire at an autozone) with the looting and burning buildings is highly suspected to be an undercover cop pretending to be a protester, because the video of him keeps getting taken down. protesters tried to stop him but couldn’t because he had a hammer and they were scared for their safety.
the cops jammed cell phone towers and cut live streams to interrupt broadcasts and to prevent people from seeing what was really going on and who actually started the violence.
the cops lied about protesters being armed and about throwing rocks and are literally trying to continue the violence happening and yet no one is holding them accountable for that.
and during all this, the cop that murdered george floyd still hasn’t been arrested. he has had more than ten complaints filed against him and was involved in three other civilian shootings in the past. and yet he’s still out free along with his three other buddies involved, probably sitting on his couch while all this chaos is happening.
so don’t get it twisted. the cops just want to change the narrative to make it look like they’re the wounded and righteous party, when they’re the ones who started reacting violently in the first place and are still acting violently. so don’t you ever forget who started this tragedy and murdered someone, and who are continuing to react to the situation with violence.
quick update
news outlets have mainly been reporting on the burning buildings and looting instead of the people still peacefully protesting. mainly showing black people looting, and not the dozens of white people and others who looted places either. they also aren’t really showing everyone who’s cleaning up (especially all the black people cleaning up) or the protesters who have tried to stop the looting (especially the black people who’ve tried to prevent the looting). they’re painting a nasty narrative. so here’s a gofundme page for a black man who’s been trying to clean up with some helpers and give people water, food, etc during their cleanup.
cops are still using tear gas, rubber bullets, pepper balls, etc against peaceful protesters. i watched a facebook friend go live last night and they were peacefully protesting and still got hit with tear gas. so don’t let the media and cops fool you into thinking that they’re only using those means with the looters or people acting violently. if you’re a protester, you’re a target. so to anyone out there protesting, please be careful.
the governor called in and got the national guard involved with all the rioting and protests, which are starting to move away from minneapolis into the surrounding cities. he also held a press conference this morning, saying that he “recognizes our generations of pain and anguish, but order must be restored”. here’s an article about it.
cops arrested a reporter and his crew live on cnn. they ended up releasing them. but the fact that they’re arresting reporters for doing their jobs and who are really trying to show what’s going on, should concern you. the fact they were arrested before the man who murdered george floyd is disturbing. here’s an article about it.
if you don’t think the federal government or cops just want to resort to violence against the protesters, well, think again! last night, trump and the white house made this tweet (click view to see it once you get to the page)about the situation saying that military is on the governor’s side and they’ll resort to killing protesters for looting. here’s an article about it.
justice will not be served until all four cops are put away behind bars. they murdered an innocent black man senselessly, and deserve to rot in jail. don’t stop fighting until they’re locked away where they belong.
I feel like I’ve made this very clear on my blog but fuck the police. Fuck your cop daddy, fuck your cop uncle, fuck your cop sister, and fuck your cop characters. All cops are evil and participate in a system of violence and murder to protect white supremacy and wealth. There are no good cops.
Don’t talk to me about Brooklyn 99, I ain’t gonna hold your hand like a fucking child’s cut that shit out. Stop supporting propaganda because they fed you a gay character what the fuck is wrong with yall.
maybe aestheticizing political movements is in. bad taste.
like i don’t know how to explain how weird this is but i Hate it
actually, i do know how to explain it! if you have to turn a political movement that protests against systemic violence and racism into an aesthetic for it to become worthy of your attention, you do not actually care about said movement. people are dying, cops are getting away with murder, the government has so much blood on its hands–protests are not pretty, revolution is not pretty, fighting for your rights and those of others is not pretty. stop trying to change that just because it feels “too harsh” for your aesthetic.

Shoutout to Percy Jackson for being a kids book that straight up murdered the abusive step dad instead of doing some bullshit redemption arc where they have to forgive him
