I don’t know when this happened or where, but how it happened shows the reason why thousands of a people around world are protesting police brutality against black people.
The video shows a black man sitting in his car where he recorded the interaction with the police. He is then forced out of his car and can be heard telling the cop to get off his neck.
The video was uploaded, so it’s my assumption that he survived his interaction with the police officers.
Yes, this happened at a Black Lives Matter demonstration, and I think this picture and the unidentified woman is sending a powerful message.
On its face, this picture will cause many to shake their head in disbelief disappointment. Some will even accuse the woman of using Black Lives Matter to promote her hidden agenda. But I see none of that. I see a woman showing the world that in her most vulnerable state, she is more than willing to stand up against an army of thugs in riot gear and rubber bullets.
She emerged as an apparition from clouds of tear gas as federal agents fired pepper balls at angry protesters in the early Saturday darkness.
A woman wearing nothing but a black face mask and a stocking cap strode toward a dozen heavily armed agents attired in camouflage fatigues, lined up across a downtown Portland street. The agents, dispatched by the Trump administration over vociferous objections of state and city officials, are part of a force that has fired projectiles at and detained activists protesting nightly since the killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis police May 25.
Numerous photos and videos posted on Twitter show the unidentified woman as she halted in the middle of the street at about 1:45 a.m. She stood calmly, a surreal image of human vulnerability in the face of an overpowering force that has been criticized nationally by civil rights advocates.
The agents, in gas masks and helmets, continued firing pepper balls in a staccato “pop, pop, pop” heard on video, aiming low at the asphalt, where puffs of smoke mingled with clouds of gas. At one point, a fellow protester, clothed, carrying a homemade shield, darted in front of the woman, angling to protect her.
But the woman sidestepped him. He jumped out of the way, perhaps realizing that he made them both a target.
Before it was over, she struck ballet poses and reclined on the street. She also sat on the asphalt in a yoga-like position, facing officers, before they left.
If their president can be a racist in the Whitehouse, why can’t they be racist in Pennsylvania? This particular racist was so angry that ‘Black Lives Matter’ protesters want to live freely in the land of the free and the home of the brave, that she just couldn’t suppress her racism.
How can we as a nation move forward, when our leaders are siding with criminals instead of the law as interpreted by our courts.
It is okay if Sean Hannity on Fox News insist that Cliven Bundy is correct in refusing to obey multiple court orders, but when Republican governors take that very same position, then the criminals have won.
Texas Republican Governor Rick Perry is now convinced that taking up arms against government employees trying to enforce a court order, is the right thing to do.
In a recent interview on Fox News, Rick Perry said that Cliven Bundy were force into picking up arms against BLM workers because the Bureau of Land Management were acting outside the law. Yes, the same law that authorized them through a court order to take the steps they took when they began confiscating Bundy’s cattle.
Said Perry;
Well, here’s here’s the bigger issue…I have a problem with the federal government putting citizens in the position of having to feel like they have to use force to deal with their own government. That’s the bigger issue.
