Today at the protest downtown, white organizers with 50501 called the police on a vendor for selling Black Panther merchandise in their protest even though he only had a small table and stayed out of the public right of way.
Here is the vendor’s statement:

I’ll stay my black ass home.
I’m sure any infraction is red flag 4 Trump…organizers just need to know all the variables & rules 4 different scenarios
Likely all volunteers too, so going fwd. if more experienced ppl help out 2
Zero tolerance for even the slightest implication of violence. No mention of Palestine allowed. Etc.

WHICH IS A GREAT FUCKING WAY TO HAVE LIST OF NAMES FOR COPS TO ARREST AND ABUSE YOU FUCKING IDIOTS
---I'm really starting to think that 50501 is
at worst? nah. sketchy shit.
We all know authorities are going to pick on anybody Black, and/or anyone visibly "different" to them.
When we're protesting, we shouldn't call on them. Because this is the kind of thing they do. It's not like it's new behavior.
The intent is not what matters. The effect is.
Come on. You know this.
Norman Mailer had a party to raise fund for them. Huey mingled while several of the brothers stood against the walls, silent. Yeah, whitey liberals would raise money, but few of them ever helped feed the kids.
It was LEFTISTS he called the cops.
A social media manager with 50501 SoCal has reached out to Public Statement Apparel with an apology and discussed plans to make amends in the future at another event
50501 is going to throw people under the bus in a heartbeat. They're going to get someone killed.
There was a reason there was very little police presence at these protests. The reason is, when liberals organize protests, they make sure their protests will never actually threaten the status quo.

9% of non-Republican white men gave us DJT.
Our Revolution people.

Absolutely inexcusable. Period, full stop.
This is why "Hashtag Resist" is cosplay bullshit.
Be the CHANGE, not the KAREN!
Here in the People's Soviet of Seattle we had people sporting actual hammer-and-sickle logos, but that's just "Tuesday" here.
That said, the whole organization had a directive to follow rules/laws to the T. We had an organizer beside us at our small protest start yelling at a couple of white women across the street from us to get back up onto the sidewalk.
I was trying to say that the organizers were trying to run a safe event and obviously messed up in not having more awareness. I hope they do more events and I hope they make sure NOT to have this happen again.
It 1000% comes across as making excuses for people who look like you to keep causing harm
The organizers are inexperienced and cop loving and, as seen here, racist. They shouldn’t have organized this…plenty of people have been doing this work for a very long time, not only now that THEIR rights are at risk.
"That said". No. No that said. You're making excuses for what they did. Stop.
If the police choose to act on the jaywalkers so be it, thats between them and the jaywalkers, we don't need normal people trying to police their peers.
And I’m not sure if it’s purposefully but it’s being missed nonetheless.
You do not kick out someone from the group of people who have sacrificed everything so you can play protest.
Ever.
Never.
You do not call the police on someone from the group…
You do not.
Ever.
If anything- organizers could have acted like all other demographics do when democracy is on the line- ignored him.
This is the one time “they did this to everyone” does not apply.
I thought saying calling the police was inexcusable was clear.
That doesn’t matter. If there was ever a time to make an exception - with all the baggage and history- yesterday was it. Period. The fact no one thought that through- is a hot mess.
Fascists.
1. Play victim to militarize cops
2. Continue the cycle of white supremacy methodology
3. Honor the ancestry of Susan B Anthony and her message to negroes.
Also libs "Cop sir, this guy wont move his table where we tell him!"
Americans are the worst, white Americans are the absolute worst.
Little do they know, if they fought for and protected black ppl fr, they would literally be fighting for it all.
Same vibe:
Who? Name them.
Traffic cops told everyone whose cars were parked along the route to move them, then came back & told him again when he didn't. There is video, but that won't get nearly as many shares as this rage bait will.
