@RevolutApp I am aware, the issue I have also concerns the support via app

[Alessia Balducci @AlessiaBcc]

@RevolutApp I would need support concerning my account. Please reach out via DM

To simplify following the criminal justice news of the last 36 hours, I posted a set of 10 links to police brutality videos on Facebook

Can't do that here, obvs

So I'm putting them into a thread

I was arrested on June 2nd, 2020 with around 100 other protesters in Los Angeles. While I was ziptied and facing the wall, two male officers joked behind me about my gender presentation: "Do you think it's a female? Are you sure?"

@theplugking_mal @JabbaMomoh Bros..... ouch

[ACLU @ACLU]

BREAKING: The @ACLUMN filed a class-action lawsuit overnight on behalf of journalists who were targeted and attacked by Minneapolis and Minnesota police.

As we warned, if you come after our press freedoms, we will see you in court.

@PhillyD I appreciate your work but hope you‘ll read up on environmental racism (animal farming is a major contributor). We can agree about the poor approach/choice of words but this is an actual issue. https://t.co/1WJEjdw5kC

This appears to be grossly unjustified use of a chemical weapon on protesters and raises serious human rights concerns under international law.

Elected officials, including Congress, must investigate this politically-motivated, life-threatening use of indiscriminate weapons.

[Mark D. McCoy @m_d_mccoy]

George Floyd and I were both arrested for allegedly spending a counterfeit $20 bill. For George Floyd, a man my age, with two kids, it was a death sentence. For me, it is a story I sometimes tell at parties. That, my friends, is White privilege.

[Lis Power @LisPower1]

Don Lemon explains why police tear gassed peaceful protesters in DC: "This was a made for TV moment ... they wanted to create this moment for the cameras so that when Trump came out and gave his law and order speech for the cameras, there would be chaos on the streets in America"

[Noah Gray @NoahGrayDC]

Ahead of the 7pm DC curfew, police deployed flash bangs, gas, and rubber bullets to move what appeared to be peaceful protestors away from Lafayette park, it turns out for POTUS to walk across from the White House for an "OTR" movement photo op

[Sunrise @sunriseon7]

This video offers another angle of the incident. https://t.co/4PX5NKRsI1

[Alessia Balducci @AlessiaBcc]

And just like, this is how a dictatorship starts.

[Sunrise @sunriseon7]

Watch the shocking moment #7NEWS reporter @AmeliaBrace and our cameraman were knocked over by a police officer LIVE on air after chaos erupted in Washington DC.

@AlineMedri È facile ignorare i propri problemi e guardare alla violenza altrove. La situazione Europea è *molto* paragonabile a quella Statunitense. E se ci si vuole informare, iniziamo ad educarci su quello che succede in Italia agli Afrodiscendenti e immigrati.

I see pictures of white Italians protesting outside the USA Embassy in Milan. The performance is interesting, and it's great to support Black Americans. But I'd like to remind the people protesting that the "ius soli" Black Italians have been campaigning for is still not law. 1/4

[Alessia Balducci @AlessiaBcc]

The stories of violence are just too heartbreaking. This is how it should be.

[LENIX @LenixLynn]

THE COPS IN FLINT MICHIGAN PUT DOWN THERE WEAPONS AND WALKED WITH THE PROTESTERS AND GAVE THEM HUGS THIS IS HOW IT SHOULD BE #BlacklivesMaters #MichiganProtest #ICantBreathe #GeorgeFloydProtests #protests2020 #Acab #BLACK_LIVES_MATTER

[Alessia Balducci @AlessiaBcc]

The world is watching. Keep fighting for justice ✊✊

[Kendrick Sampson @kendrick38]

Another angle (via @MattMcGorry) of it going 0-100. Peaceful to violent. The violence comes entirely from LAPD. You can hear the commander yell “MOVE!” - cop talk for “F**K EM UP!” - at the end watch THREE COPS coming at me as I defend someone on the ground they were beating!!!

[CNN Communications @CNNPR]

This is not accurate - our CNN crew identified themselves, on live television, immediately as journalists. We thank Minnesota @GovTimWalz for his swift action this morning to aid in the release of our crew.

[Jenna Amatulli @ohheyjenna]

"Cooper sneering 'I’m going to tell them there’s an African American man threatening my life' highlights this truth about race in America: White people are far more aware of the structure of the thing than they care to admit."
