What effect it will have on European institutions?

“The @Europarl_EN resolution on anti-racism shows the importance of the large public movement demanding justice & is a wake-up call for the #EU to acknowledge the urgency of tackling racism, said @KMTaylorBerlin in response. @EU_Commission @helenadalli @MPriv_o @JuliePascoet #BLM Image

Ever wonder why our legal system lets #police literally get away with murder?

"...the real purpose of #QualifiedImmunity is to rig the system, ensuring that abusive agents of the govt almost always win and the victims of govt abuse almost always lose."

“Movement” politics is how the people flex their power... This is a lesson learned in the Sixties — a period when some years saw as many as 5,000 separate demonstrations."

"Shallow displays of solidarity... represent the insidious drive to gaslight us into apathy, to bury violence beneath a fleeting veil of showy concern."

"It’s the ultimate abusive relationship: the people and the state..."

Now that statements have been made and we got #whitecoatsforblacklives trending, what’s next?

What actions are we taking to deal with #PoliceBrutalityPandemic?

How are we going to deal with #racism in medicine?

Do they involve accountability?

Will there be transparency? Image
How do we hold these institutions accountable?

We tried diversity and inclusion, and IB training.

Not much change.

How do we hold our institutions accountable to go beyond statements and symbolism?

The recent #GeorgeFloydMurder in Mnpls, MN has galvanized the world to protest in support of the #BlackLivesMatter movement.

Cause of death: "asphyxiation from sustained pressure" when his neck and back were compressed by Minneapolis police officers”

It didn’t have to take a second autopsy to confirm what the entire world saw on that video. A video I, and many Black parents, still can’t bear to watch.

But the fact that a second autopsy was performed at the request of Mr. Floyd’s family is pertinent to this discussion.

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

Security forces in the United States have been cracking down hard on those taking to the streets to demand an end to racism and police violence.

We gathered some of the incidents of repression that have happened over the weekend in the "land of the free" (a thread):
Trapped protesters with nowhere to go being suffocated with tear gas.
Peaceful protesters in Seattle being dispersed with pepper spray and tear gas.
