Appendicitises for everyone!
Berkely police just beat the hell out of a bunch of protesting students.
This baton jab to the gut move that they’re using looks very dangerous. Looks like a appendicitis or a miscarriage in the making. Too bad pro-lifers don’t give a damn about “Socialist” hippies. They could go fifteen flavors of apeshit over this gut-punch maneuver.
Please pass these videos around so we can raise awareness.
The world needs to see this.
the first line of protesters needs some plastic shields.Don’t tell me you guys have guns but not shields 😮
I don’t understand martyrs..or peaceful protesting,as long as the forces are so brutal.
Maybe they need signs that say
We came unarmed
This time.
:love:
I’ve been reading around the net and the pro-lifers think that this type of brute force isn’t enough.
It makes my heart hurt.
I wonder if your post here would be more effective with context?
Were protesters trespassing? If so, were they repeatedly asked to leave first? Were they trying to infringe the rights of others, & disrupt other people’s activities at those times and places? Should police have attempted arrest before resorting to battering?
Should we allow trespassers in the name of freedom of expression? If so, when is it a safety considderation to deny such? Protesters in Greece recently killed a few bystanders.
Aside from the small minority that have been doing property damage, are protesters bullying others, such as shouting scab to Port of Oakland employees trying to get to work? Is it bullying to try and take over The Port of Oakland, or is it principled civil disobedience?
Most of those protesters were students who paid to go to that school(university). That was not in any way called for! They were being peaceful.
