🚨BREAKING🚨
@WHDLASD just brutalized and arrested 3 queer volunteers at #wehopride. The Sheriffs were making fun of the booth and the volunteers responded “This is why we don’t like cops at Pride” The sheriffs then attacked them and are filing bogus charges. Will update here 🧵
Demand the immediate release of the WeHo 3 and to drop the bogus charges!

Today @cerisecastle released, "A Tradition of Violence: The History of Deputy Gangs in the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department." The amount of pain & trauma she had to ingest has been expansive and at times, all-consuming. And she is only the reporter. knc.la/tradition
Every act of state violence causes a ripple effect of pain and trauma. Starting with the person (who is forced by the state into victimhood) and moving to their friends, families, and communities.
If you are privileged enough to have never been on the receiving end of state harassment and/or violence or if you have never forsaken your privilege to put yourself in a position to receive it, you reading this series is that ripple finding its way to you.
