    I really can't express how much rage this fills me with. ACAB. Every last fucking one.

    Whoever the bastard is who shot her probably doesn't even think about what they've done. Especially since they're getting a big fucking raise this month from the city of Minneapolis. It's really fucking dark, and kind of a metaphore for how agents of the imperial core just casually kill all sorts of people without thought, much less consequences.

      I had a recent interaction with agents of a migration office. Those creatures are disgusting and the most unhinged violent fantasy we could think off is probably too kind on them

    damn, that's crazy that a brain injury slowly gets worse like that

      No doubt there will be a heated debate that takes place on the day after the revolution over who gets to assure the pigs that the blunted guillotine they are about to be put into is the less lethal option.

    This is so horrible. I'm so sorry for Linda.

    I do want to take this time to emphasize protective gear during actions. Protective gear may not have helped Linda, I'm not victim blaming. The blame lies with cops and their enablers, for whom I have unlimited hatred. But it does help on average to be cautious. Spaces that seems safe often are not. Wear ballistic goggles and helmets. Bring a respirator that can handle organics, i.e. P100.

    Every one of us is precious.

    "Less lethal" is some supreme bullshit coming from police that could call their new prole suppression weapon a <insert a slur of your choosing> Butcher 5000K and still never face consequences for recklessly firing it into a crowd.

    They're dabbing on us with this bullshit.

      Less lethal if used properly. They're supposed to bounce those rubber bullets. How are they even supposed to do that in a real life situation? This isn't billiards.

        They’re meant to be shot at the ground into a crowd of people, which seems feasible since accuracy by volume is obviously the intention. I’ve literally never seen it deployed that way though.

    One more reason to bring safety glasses to any protest. Not blaming the victim, btw. But be safe out there.
