    I remember watching all this shit go down live.

    I will never forget how, only 4 years later, the governor this all happened under was (and still is) propped up by liberals as some sort of progressive hero that “we” had to unite under to defeat Trump. (To say nothing about vp Harris also being complicit in genocide at the time.)

      Because one person never has any real power, people are only as powerful as their supporters

      I was meticulously covering all the streams when it was happening and there are dozens of videos of exactly that. Also that guy in Oregon that straight up got assassinated for killing a Nazi in self defense.

        Michael Reinoehl, he was killed by federal marshalls in Washington state, after Trump called for his death. The nazi was killed in Portland.

          Ah right, also I had something very similar to this video happen to me when observing officers INSIDE my apartment complex harassing my latino neighbor who was just a young guy practically a kid living with his girlfriend who was super chill. When I schooled them on our civil liberties and started filming they got real uncomfortable and then the kid thanked me after they left. They were definintely gonna do some pig shit and this is in a similarly “progressive” california college town.

          This was during the riots too which is why I went out of my way to put myself between them, cuz I had just been seeing so much police brutality I figured I had to do it or it would be a betrayal of all of my principles.

            That’s lucky for him you were there to do that, you never know what could have happened. It was stuff like people doing that and all the ‘normies’ coming out to support the serious people on the street that gave me a lot of hope for things in spite of all the horrors of the time. I am an anxious person and typically stay home, but I and the people I knew were so compelled to do something it wasn’t a choice, I was thankful to be in a city where I could join with others.

            Many people that participated consistently and with fervor were young and inexperienced, I know most haven’t forgotten that and will have only gotten more serious since then.

              Yeah I luckily have a lot of neighbors that would have backed me up if shit got heated. The cops were in hostile territory and still acting so damn confident.

    I wasn’t sure if this was the boston marathon bombing but then I looked at the reddit post and it was the george floyd riots. So many times the pigs have done police state shit.

      Giving the “Israel/Palestine is a conflict that’s very complicated and thousand of years old” treatment to America’s barely half a century of police militarization

      Jesus Christ they’re pathetic. No, no, it can’t be the obvious answer! The republicans did it with mind control lasers!!! Can’t be that both parties serve the same interests!

    Important question:

    In the actual reddit thread that OP linked, note the ~1600 upvoted comment from Upstairs_Attempt2577, and the aerial vehicles they mention. Have these aerial vehicles been bothering anyone else recently?
