How can we as a society tolerate this?
There was yet another incident of horse-involved police brutality posted to reddit this morning:
looking at how even the horses are disobeying being forced to harm people - we can conclude that calling cops animals is not appropriate - ghouls and psychopaths seems more adequate but don’t let me stop you from listing all other fitting names you can think of:
tyrants
The police representative blandly spouting copaganda and saying how much the LAPD cares about safeguarding lives, while a protestor is currently getting hit with batons and run over by horses, is the most US thing I’ve ever seen.
What about this?
As someone raised in LA I think this is the first time I’ve actually seen police on horses. Where in the protests did that particular one happen?
Arent you guys supposed to have weapons in case a tyranical government or something like that?
The arming was (and remains) mainly about keeping the US settler garrison empowered to carry out indigenous eviction, and keeping non-white populations under control. Not protecting from a tyrannical government.
You can see that when those groups did try to arm themselves, such as the Black panthers or the American Indian Movement, laws were passed and repression carried out to disarm them.
Highly recommend reading Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz - Loaded, the disarming history of the second amendment for more on this. You can find the audiobook on torrents.
Thanks for the reading recomendation, will look into it. Yeah, times of crisis are really fast destroyers of lies, such as that the ruling classes would allow the ruled to arm against them. If the propaganda meltdown was in turbo mode after israel started the genocide, a civil conflict inside the us will give it a spaceship engine
That was a lie. The ones who don’t like tyranny don’t like guns, and the ones who like guns don’t actually mind tyranny, so long as it hurts the right people.
If those who oppose tyrany wont starting using guns, they can rest well assured repression and death awaits
Those Nazis are attempting murder.
Notice the first horse refused on the left.
Good horse
The only good cops are horses and dogs.
Diet coke tainamen square?
If it was Tiananmen the horse would have stopped
If we take most reliable estimates of the casualties than happened in the june 4th incident, ~200, then US cops kill more than that in 2 months.
Or if you want a single internal incident, during the Waco siege the US burned alive ~90 people, many women and children included.
Bunch of fucking nazis.
Not surprising at all, there’s been so many cop brutality incidents over the years. Off the top of my head, a cop broke the arm of an elderly woman with dementia and the cops laughed and joked about it. There was another case where the cops make a man crawl on floor before executing him. People don’t just become monsters overnight. They’ve been trained over the years to behave this way.
Bodycams are making a lot more of these available now too. Saw a brutal one where cops paralyze a handcuffed guy by breaking his neck, then they sit prop him up in a sitting position and complain that hes uncooperative because won’t move.
That was a year ago, the dude is dead and the cops got off scott free.
The job also attracts monsters and that’s who they want to hire

Watched this live all day at work. So much of this shit went on. The whole thing with CHP trapped under the overpasses was set up to be a massacre, but the protestors didn’t kill them.
No commander in his right mind would trap their troops on low ground like that unless it was a sacrifice.

Or they know the violent threat they’re using as justification is total fiction.
Disgusting. ACAB.

See the signpost in the middleHell yea. That shot is almost poetic. Hopefully the protestors can stay as safe as they can in the face of the fascist crackdown.
The Police DO love a little Fascism.
You got to be fucking kidding me
