The cop raised his weapon shouting, “Forty millimeter up! Curfew! YOU WILL BE FIRED UPON.” A .40 is the standard caliber bullet used by the Los Angeles police; it was specially designed for human kill. gregpalast.com/lapd-you-will-… #FloydGeorge #FloydGeorgeProtests #BlackLivesMatter
This was the day LA was scheduled to open up, with folks allowed back in the streets. They certainly filled the streets; and now their masks had a second purpose: to screw up police surveillance. gregpalast.com/lapd-you-will-… #FloydProtests #DTLA #DTLAProtests #BlackLivesMatter
Officers in Los Angeles "have also fired 40-millimeter rounds with rubber texture in the protests. Those rounds are less lethal than regular bullets, according to LAPD Public Information Director Josh Rubenstein." wsj.com/articles/polic…

Pinned to the ground
Unable to move
All I could do was to
whisper:" I cant breathe"

There was people watching me
Filming me,clicking pictures
And all I could do was to
whisper:" I cant breathe"

#GeorgeFloydprotest
The officer still made no
move of his leg on my neck
Slammed to the ground,
Blood from my nose
And all I could do was
whisper: "I cant breathe"

Was it cause I wrote a bad check
Or was it cause of my race?
Wasnt I cooperative?

#BlackLivesMatters
Cause in the end all I could do,
like any other ,was to whisper:
" I cant breathe"

I remember, brother Eric
When you were also
Choked to death
And all you could do was
whisper :" I can't breathe"

I wish I could say I'm surprised. Police unions/assoc. often have a powerful role... washingtontimes.com/news/2020/may/… /1 #floydgeorge
...in electing city council members and DAs who have oversight on the local police. This powerful role via endorsements, donations, and volunteer labor, often leads to less training and oversight than needed... /2
...to ensure the police conduct their duties in a professional manner, respectful of everyone's rights. The idea of government unions needs to be revisited, especially for law enforcement - that's the whole point of civil service protections. /3
