i get threatened a lot. everything from neoconfederates threatening to put a mossberg down my throat to neonazis threatening to put a glock in my vagina. but the only people who’ve ever put hands on me, the only ones who’ve actually made me fear for my life, have been cops.
from rural georgia to UNC to downtown boston, i’ve shown up to stand against violent white supremacy and fascism & been shoved, kicked, hit, gassed, and groped by cops.
it’s not just that most of the violent right is all talk. many of them are. some are mass murderers waiting for their moment. but for the most part they know they can just create the conditions in which the state hurts their enemies for them.
stop letting them do that. the general public is complicit in the narrative that is being allowed to develop that makes it ok for cops to attack peaceful demonstrators. don’t do fascists’ work for them.
