Police brutality captured on ABC7-- as the police chief gives a press conference.
A fire breaks out, then cops brutally assault a protestor. They run him over with a horse and hit him with batons several times, despite the fact he does not pose any threat to the officers.
Cops are rioting.

I’m talking about people bringing flags to protests in California that aren’t the U.S. flag. Tom was telling people not to bring flags unless they were US ones bc that would somehow provoke Trump into calling in the marines ….

How is it hindering anyone? I would imagine a huge part of the population is Mexican, considering at one point California was Mexico. That’s not going to make Trump call in the marines, if he wants to bring them in he will bc he and ICE break laws daily without consequences.

I’m snotty for telling him he should stop telling protestors to not bring Mexican flags bc that truly will not matter if trump wants to call in the marines?

Kids with goggles? People of all ages are protesting. The FBI famously infiltrates protests and social movements to disband them so tell me how you getting protection from the FBI is relevant to telling people what they should and shouldn’t do during a protest?

An entire generation of people raised on memes and Fox News who are just completely unable to separate propaganda from reality. If there is a crisis, it’s epistemological. Fascists will try to bend reality to their ideology, but this always fails in the long run with tons of damage along the way.

Momentary information break in the thread: for the liberals and others screaming“be peaceful or Trump will do a martial law”. If Trump and the fascists want to do martial law and turn this up to ten they will. Fascists do not need pretext to do violence stop building a framework to blame the victims

🚨TEAR GAS IS BEING DEPLOYED as cops push the crowd further down the highway.
See how Hasan is surrounded by thick white gas--prohibited to use in war by the Geneva Convention
Loud sirens are being blared and flashbangs are continuing.
Masks, goggles, earplugs are all needed equipment for safety!

The crowd and noise is escalating. Cops are shooting what sounds like flashbangs to try to get people to leave, but it's not working
The flashbangs are extremely loud. Crowd is chanting "Si Se Puede!"
The protestors could use earplugs! Bring some giant containers of earplugs if you go!
