Added 2020-06-06 11:19:09 +0000 UTCI wanted to take some photos yesterday for you guys, then caught wind if a protest in my area. So I prioritized that. Has anyone been to any protests? They’re so powerful. We sang happy birthday to breonna Taylor, knelt in front of the precinct, and chanted. I’ve never felt so proud of my neighborhood and my community. People were handing out free masks, water, snacks, and making signs for each other. Cops were there In riot gear hands on their batons. Even while we were all peaceful, they held threatening looks. We thought we heard a gunshot, and no one moved an inch. Not a single person. It ended up being a popped tire Or something but then 3 more followed and again, no one moved. My friend was recently beat senseless while attending a peaceful protest after being trapped and held past curfew by the cops. They slammed him around, he’s got two black eyes, purple hands from the cuffs being too tight, and he’s covered in cuts and bruises. I don’t think they broke anything, but the threw him on a bus with everyone else and left them for hours. For a peaceful demonstration. This is the country we live in. Where black people can’t reach for their wallets, play music, be home, be heard, run, breathe, be arrested without fear of being brutality beaten or murdered or at all, there is so much wrong with all of this. Be a part of the change. Donate to black lives matter, Minnesota freedom fund, black visions collective, sign every petition. Black lives matter. We need to force a change.
