#police brutality
May 18, 2020. João Pedro Mattos Pinto was murdered by the police IN HIS HOME in São Gonçalo, Rio de Janeiro. he was only 14. when the police murdered him, he was PLAYING in his own backyard. his house now has at least 72 bullet holes in it’s walls. and his mom’s heart has one giant hole, that one type that is impossible to be ever filled again.
this happened exactly a week before George Floyd’s murder. João Pedro was black too.
it doesn’t matter where you from. all cops are bastards. all of them. brazillian ones. us cops. even the ones from your country. all of them serve the same racist purposes.
João Pedro should be remembered. his life and Floyd’s matter so much.
so much respect for the protesters in Minneapolis.
there’s a petition going on right now demanding justice for João Pedro. PLEASE, sign it and share/reblog if you can.

Why U.S. Needs Black Lives Matter Movement Today
Interview of Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, who is an African American studies professor at Princeton University, regarding the murder of George Floyd, and the protests and riots that have followed.
Now is not the time to stay silent. People of all races need to speak up. This is NOT okay, and we will NOT tolerate this any longer. Too much blood has been spilt. Too many black lives have been lost. They’ve gotten away with it for too long. We demand justice. How many more people need to die before the system changes!?

You didn’t deserve to die. My God! You were full of love and light. Rest In Peace Elijah McClain.
it’s actually worse. the police know she’s on probation and charging her with an offense will automatically trigger a probation violation charge. police are legally going for the throat on parents speaking out about their gross negligence.
Good news– she went to the judge who sentenced her and he was like…. oh, no. Nonononononononono. Don’t worry, you go ahead and call the press.
