yeinesomemdarre:quiteliterallyhotsauce:They were so young. The whole thing is still crazy to me.It was a domestic occupation before our very eyes. I stayed up for nearly a week straight watching, trying not to let anything go by. It was still too much. I watched a small live stream journalist get threatened with being shot in the face by a cop. At first it seemed so strange because he was not even in anyone’s way or bothering anyone. But I presume it was for accidentally noticing they were setting fires down the other street themselves to justify their assault on protestors. As soon as they started turning the camera that way towards the small fire emerging out of a dumpster, a cop from a line behind him shoved his gun in his face. “I WILL FUCKING SHOOT YOU IN THE FACE.” That’s what I remember most. Other live streams showed random citizens being snatched up from the front line, taken to cars or who knows where. Their faces linger in my mind and I still to this day cannot say they were ever seen again. Taken into the clutches of men like the one who wanted to obliterate people’s heads at point blank. Other Black men in the surrounding area were live steamed “shoplifting” to deliberately commit suicide by cop. One was “armed” with a butter knife. I watched them handcuff men they had already murdered. And no one intervened. People cried injustice, but it was all but washed out. Anyone who saw what happened in Ferguson for what it really was knows we have yet to see any form of justice. They left Mike in the street for hours, repeatedly destroyed his memorial, poisoned his community with chemical weaponry, and slaughtered the activists mentioned above with complete impunity. If I’m not mistaken, Obama never even visited. -- source link
