Hoje em NYC. Um homem é empurrado de forma truculenta e desnecessária para cima de uma viatura pela Polícia. Ele se machucou e chegou a sangrar bastante. A brutalidade policial tem avançado, principalmente hoje em Nova York após o toque de recolher. #PoliceBrutality
Também hoje: em Little Rock, Arkansas, policia joga bombas em jovens desarmados que protestavam pacificamente ajoelhados e com as mãos para cima. Absurdo! #BlackLivesMatter #PoliceBrutality
