Some ya’ll who are younger need to google Frank Serpico and read about his time in the NYPD and what the cops did to him and attempted to do to him up until the late 90′s. He literally had to go into hiding in Italy and Switzerland and multiple times people tried to kill him. He only came back to America after the mafia (who hated the NYPD a lot, obviously) said “you’re under our protection.”
Damn, NYPD is so bad, Mafia started protecting good cops
Dorner tried to report his partner for police brutality. The LAPD retaliated. He retaliated.

ACAB applies to space cops too, yall.
The green lantern corps couldda been an anarchist relief team using their powers to service vulnerable people, but instead they gotta police the entire fucking galaxy.
Okay. So after a video going viral of an innocent man being choked to death by a police officer, with other cops looking and not reacting whatsoever to this tragic scene. After hearing his begging and pleading, noticing his shortening breaths, hearing the panic in his voice and still not helping. After thousands of previous and following cases of police brutality were talked about. After we were made aware that the police has continously attacked, traumatized, paralysed and killed innocent black people throughout the years and nothing had changed, people were tired of prejudice and decided to do something about it. They protested, they tried making their voices heard, they demanded decency, they wanted black lives to matter. So how did the president of the united states react? Did he call out the undeniable systemic racism that POC have been a victim of ever since the beginning of time? Did he make sure that George Floyd and every other soul that was unjustly taken way received justice? Did he try to reform the police and the racist incarceration system? Did he do anything of use, did he try, did he do the bare minimum, did he lie and say something respectful just for show? No. He called protestors thugs. He cared more about the walls of corporate organizations and businesses than about human lives. He threatened the protestors, allowed the teargassing, beatings, insults, arrests, and murder of people who wanted change to happen.
Forward to a few days ago where a bunch of lunatic trump supporters stormed the capitol because their lord and saviour Donald lost the election, brought guns, stole podiums and mail, attacked the police while waving “blue lives matter” flags, took selfies with cops, displayed nazi symbols, held the racist confederate flag, all while spewing hateful propaganda (because this is all they know what to do). Try to guess how the president of the united sates reacted this time. Did he also call them thugs, did he insult them, did he order the force to attack them with rubber bullets, teargass them, kill them? Actually, he told them that he loved them, that they were very special, that he knew how they felt, and that they should go home.
“Jacob Blake, a 29-year-old Black man, was left partly paralyzed after a white police officer shot him seven times in the back outside an apartment complex in Kenosha, Wis., on Aug. 23.
The shooting, which happened in front of three of Mr. Blake’s children, was captured by a neighbor in a video that circulated widely and rapidly on social media. Outrage spread quickly, rekindling the nationwide protests for racial justice that had followed the deaths of George Floyd, Elijah McClain, Breonna Taylor and other Black Americans after encounters with the police. […]
Four months after the shooting of Mr. Blake, the Kenosha County district attorney, Michael Graveley, announced on Jan. 5 that the officers involved in the shooting would not be charged.”
I know this is extremely disturbing. I know the black trans community doesn’t need to be reminded of their trauma. And I am so damn sorry that you still have to wake up in such a hateful world and ostracizing society but I refuse to simply forget about two innocent souls that were taken away way too soon. We have to raise awareness, we have to educate ourselves more on these very touchy subjects, we have to be better, we have to build a better future, we just have to, this cannot be a regular, standard routine.
May they rest in peace.

I am disgusted and in constant disbelief that people with that much hatred in their heart still exist. Actual nazis. I am not surprised, simply disappointed that it is so blatant and yet, people still don’t seem to care.

Also, for the ignorant people that still believe it was Antifa because “one of them had a communist tatoo”, I am begging you, just for once, use your fucking brain.
This is unfathomable, this is one of the most vile thing you could possibly do. Make a joke out of an innocent man’s murder, poke fun at police brutality victims, every single soul that was taken away way too soon and that deserved to be remembered for more than just a tragic ending. And in front of a church? Really? Do you seriously think this is what Christianity represents? Do you genuinely think God is proud of you right now?
I am in constant disbelief that some people are ignorant enough to still deny the existence of white privilege, when you get to take selfies with cops, while they should’ve been arresting you. When you got gently escorted down the stairs by the force, while they were tear gassing peaceful protesters for pleading for decency. When you fucking terrorists, loot, attack, break in, shoot and destroy BECAUSE FUCKING TRUMP LOST, and you get labeled as “great patriots”, while the people who asked the police to stop murdering them get called “violent”. That is no coincidence.
This makes me sick. Those are the most hateful, evil, dirty, narcissistics, hypocritical beings. Those are fascists. Those are nazis. Those are the worst kind of humans and they are getting labeled as good patriots, do you seriously not see the irony?
I am in disbelief and in utter disgust of what this country has come to, but please let’s not forget THIS HAPPENED. This is direct proof that the system hates black people, that the american government is discriminatory, that MAGA supporters are lunatic terrorists, that Donald Trump is a racist hypocrite and that the police has no real honor or devotion to protect the people.
Please get reminded that this is not even comparable to the BLM movement. One is about demanding human rights and the other is about being a lunatic hyporcritical asshole.
