I changed the link to be the updated CNN students protest page.

    I'll never forget the sight of the national guard in their armored cars backing up the pigs on my city's main street in 2020. Fucking stormtroopers facing us down and people think we don't live in a police state

      I remember this video from Minneapolis of people standing on their porch and being yelled at and eventually shot at with paint for not being inside. 2020 was very mask off, but nothing stuck in peoples brains apparently.

      I was just thinking about the little bit of protest ptsd I got from that year. The pigs bellowing “Move Back” before beating the shit out of people with batons, terrorizing them with “non-lethals,” and eventually kettling them in the middle of the street.

      As far as indelible video, this takes the cake https://youtu.be/LozQg0oX-Gw?

      Lol in 2020 there was national guard posted in the main protest area in my city that like clockwork came out at 8pm and gassed and arrested with the cops.

      One time walking through I was tossing out some fuck yous to da troops and another protestor literally started yelling at me and my gf that "they are just doing their jobs and they don't really want to be here and" blah blah blah. Literally had to remind them that the reason they themselves were leaving was because in 30 minutes they were coming to arrest everyone.

      People will contort themselves into whatever position to lick the boot on their neck.
