This broke my heart. A Black woman tried to get help from the system that’s supposed to protect us from danger for a domestic violence restraining order against her partner and recieved the same physical abuse she was trying to prevent. The system truly fails Black people.
HE WAS MURDERED BY POLICE FOR WALKING HOME AT NIGHT FOR WEARING A MASK/HOODIE BECAUSE HE WAS ANEMIC & GOT COLD OFTEN. He played the violin for kittens at animal shelters. He meant well. He wasn’t a threat, rather another innocent black man killed by the police. #ElijahMcClain
notice the uniforms???? good, then you’ll see these ARE NOT AMERICAN police; they are BRITISH. it doesn’t just happen in the USA, it happens everywhere.
This is what's going on in Philly. Police randomly attacking civilians with mace. They weren't rioting, they weren't looting, they weren't protesting, they weren't protesting, they weren't even antagonizing the police, they were walking home. Who really are the "thugs?"
If British-made riot control equipment is being used to attack unarmed protesters and journalists in the US, those exports must immediately be stopped. We cannot be a party to the violence of the American President against his own people. My full letter to Liz Truss is attached.
