Oh the fucking horror. How very dare those protesters cover their bodies against ICE violence.
The kid who got blinded was running to help someone else. Funny how words and acts of humanity and kindness seem to piss them off more than anything else. But that's now a "riot" and that protester is now a "rioter."
This newspeak is right up there with the couchfucker claiming Renee Good belonged to a "broad left-wing network" without so much as a clue of the word rest of us use to describe the same group: a neighborhood. Renee Good belonged to a neighborhood.
Oh the fucking humanity.
It's a classic cop tactic: raise the level of violence, then use the inevitable and justified matching rise in violence and defensive behaviour from protesters to justify more police violence.
French newspaper le Monde Diplomatique had an article some years back about this with a smoking gun type quote, from an unnamed former high ranking French police officer, along the lines of "it us, the police institutions, that set the level of violence, and we perfectly know it" (the conclusion from this officer was that therefore police should refrain from any unnecessary violence and only use absolutely necessary violence).
Truth. Say it as often as you can, because there are people commenting here constantly urging others to protest violently. It's the worst thing we could do.
It's the same here in the US, and this is why the regime has picked Minneapolis and Portland, Oregon to begin with: because those two cities had the most violence in 2020-2023 following the killing of George Floyd. But Portland has learned, and kept their protests non-violent, which is what the judge cited as her reason for declaring the presence of the National Guard there illegal in November. It's the very first paragraph, and thereafter she calls the order illegal:
