Yeah, Atlanta has been protesting for 7 hours now. Tear gas was deployed about 30 minutes ago. Cop cars have been burning. CNN center has been trashed. Fuck the police.
Truth, and we are all going to have to get out there if things keep on keeping on like this. Enough.
Was this posted yet? CNN correspondent Omar Jiminez and the crew get arrested while covering the protests.
Like, y'all know what else people should be concerned by? People getting teargassed by the police. People getting shot at with rubber bullets by the police. People getting their asses beat with nightsticks and steel-toe boots by the police.
yea honestly its such a risk for someone to take up the megaphone, in heated moments they tend to gain some control easily. In this case more than any other I've seen the messaging needed to be on point, and this dude has nailed it with aplomb.
The POWER of the people. Enough is enough of letting these pigs do what they please.
I always enjoy listening to him when he speaks, just lays it out so anyone can understand
The largest police precinct in Atlanta is in the CNN building.
the fuck was that cop doing going that far into the protestors trying to arrest someone
he think he robocop or sommit?
I think this almost warrants it's own thread. Everyone needs to hear this.
This video and the crew getting shot with pepper bullets should be blowing up. Surprised the CNN one didn't get much traction.
Des Moines for anyone interested. If this link works.

I mean, they're racist shits anyways who probably already worship him, but any bets that cops taking shots at press are really into fuckface's "fake news" shit?
Just comes off as low effort concern trolling and a poor reading of the room. Like you said, what's being protested is important and silencing it isn't an option nor should it be.
Apparently there's never an appropriate time or place or manner for protesting brutality and state sanctioned murder against black and brown people for some. Truly maddening.
They weren't having none of that shit. What a dumb ass cop.
Damn this is insane!
I know some will probably judge me but I feel bad for people on both sides. I just hope everybody stays safe! I have a brother who is a police officer and I know the stigma behind police is awful in the states. (I live in Canada) I know police has a terrible stigma behind them because of the many who are fucked up and do terrible shit but there a few good ones out there and they are also human, so hopefully those few good cops are doing okay as well.

What we are seeing is literally the embryo of a revolutionary movement, tying together all the ills of white supremacy and capitalism. The protestors must grasp this and start linking up nationwide before they lose momentum and can be smashed by reactionary and state forces.
The "good" ones don't do shit to stop the bad ones, they're fucking useless.
If the good cops aren't standing with the protestors, man, I got some news for you.
Phoenix protest stream if you are local. Mostly just peaceful gathering and speeches. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yo4tuW7xzKw
It's because CNN aren't allies!! Corporate media is another weapon of white supremacy. They will always bemoan rioters and property damage because they ultimately are not for the 100% end of Black exploitation in the country and they benefit from it.
Probably true but there are some who probably do. I'm just saying the few police officers who are decent hopefully they are doing okay through these times as well.
At the end of the protest march they landed at the CNN center and began vandalizing the CNN sign out front. Graffiti with messages and such. They were around there when things began heating up and it went from there, smashing the windows and nearby hotels and businesses. My friends were all gone by then, and I couldn't make it to the protest as my wife had a medical emergency. But the city is on fire right now.
Tear gas, burning cop cars, and I'm not sure when it's gonna end. Killer Mike cried on tv at the emotion of it all, speaking out for his community in which he is a very valuable leader of.
I'm very emotional watching my city tonight, and proud of its people.
As for why the CNN center? Fuck the corporate media. It's complicit.
there's still a small crowd at the white house but by the time i got there most of them had moved onto the capitol I think
Guess the curfew is only being respected by police and NG lol
Good cops are not good when they defend and protect an institution and the worst cops who are a part of it.
Don't feel bad for cops. No reason too. They're all pigs. In the States, in Canada, in the UK... everywhere.
