Re: Monday night’s shooting in Abq. A white guy shot into a crowd of mostly youth. Armed white supremacists held us at gunpoint until cops arrived. The cops gingerly detained & released them later. Then the cops held us at gunpoint, shot teargas, & threw flash bangs.
Several people in the crowd tried to hand over video or give testimony to the police on the scene. One cop yelled at them telling them to back away, “You’re interfering with my job!” A woman responded, “What the fuck is your job then?” There was no response.
It was clear to everyone there that cops weren’t there to protect us. All guns were trained on the young crowd. This is what this generation will remember. Their courage to do what is right is met by very scared & violent white men whose solution to everything is guns & violence.
Amidst the chaos, the guns people surrounded a monument to genocidal white supremacy. Then they surrounded and protected a white supremacist who enacted the same kind of violence of Oñate after shooting into the crowd & critically wounding a man protecting Indigenous people.
As we waited for our young comrades to check in & the police fired teargas, a beat up red pickup truck with a white camper shell drove by us. Two white militia dudes made their fingers into guns, pointed at us, & said “bap bap bap” as they drove by us, a line of Native people.
