Just a reminder of what those Capitol steps looked like during BLM protests. Miss me with the “overwhelmed” and “unprepared” law enforcement. There’s no such thing.
The peaceful protests in the summer were met with armed military police, tear gas, and rubber bullets.
Today’s insurrection in the Capitol shows a clear example of the two very different justice systems our country upholds.
Miriam Carey, a Black woman having a mental health crisis, was shot 5 times & killed by U.S. Capitol Police in '13 for simply trying to breach security barriers. She was unarmed & had her 13-mos old baby daughter in the car.
Pres Trump and his minions are trying a coup attempt.This is sedition. President Trump and a certain numbers of Republican Senators, Representatives have been heading dwn this path for 4 yrs and here we are. I need Black Lives Matter energy from law enforcement
@common And then the icing on the cake is they took they time getting more help so that everyone can almost clear out by the time real help showed up. But when #BlackLivesMatter peacefully protested the #NationalGuard were waiting for them they didn't have to be called in 👀🤔
@common What happend today is the same thing the #whitemobs use to do back in the day when a black person would get taken to jail some how that black person would end up outside the jail #hungfromatree with a mob of #whites standing around looking at them...
Black people get pulled over and don’t make it out alive. We can’t sleep in our own beds without being killed. We can’t jog without being killed. We can’t walk down the street with our hoodies up without being killed but they can do this???
