Media Madness: Some of Those That Work Forces
Some of Those That Work Forces
Have you seen “the thread” though? Beginning on May 30th, at the height of the protests in response to the extrajudicial execution of George Floyd by Minneapolis murderpigs, defense attorney T. Greg Doucette began compiling a Twitter thread of graphic examples of police violence against largely peaceful demonstrators – the vast majority of which include video evidence. From soccer moms in Portland being teargassed, to police ripping off a man’s artificial legs and with virtually every type of cracker pig violence imaginable in between, Doucette’s thread (which as of this writing stands at a shocking eight hundred and seventy examples of police brutality and contains additional threads with hundreds more examples each in their own right) shows American law enforcement at its finest hour – if you’re a fascist.
I’ll post a link to Doucette’s thread in the comments below, but in today’s homework lesson I’d like to focus on addressing the two most important questions watching videos of fascist police violence like the ones he shared should be calling to mind. First, why are the police treating peaceful political opposition (including an incredibly large number of milquetoast liberals and even African American celebrities) like an invading army in the protesters own streets, and secondly, why do the police appear to be actively protecting violent reactionaries and street nazis, while openly committing outrageous acts of violence against virtually anyone who takes to the streets to protest our fascist President?
This 2017 article by Alice Speri at the Intercept might go a very long way to answering that question for you. Literal f*cking Neonazis have been actively infiltrating American law enforcement for years and the FBI was fully aware of it even before Trump was elected – check it out “The FBI Has Quietly Investigated White Supremacist Infiltration of Law Enforcement” below:

U.S. police have attacked journalists at least 140 times since May 28
