the last drop in a series of police violence cases was last Sunday, when a young man was assaulted by cops in Nea Smyrni after he asked them why they’re giving a fine to a family that was sitting on a bench, when they didn’t disobey any lockdown law
many tried to justify their actions by making up lies.
Adonis Georgiadis, the Minister for Development and Investment in the Cabinet, quote retweeted a video that’s the caption “the suspect has taken the officer’s gun”, when the young man never did

after he was called out for spreading misinformation, he deleted the tweet. an example of how corrupted our government is.
the national media outlets aren’t speaking about the police brutally assaulting and terrorising citizens, only, over and over again, about a cop who got hit by some, but without covering the full story
1. he’s not in critical condition
2. not showing the whole video, prior to this incident - first, the police drove at high speed towards the crowd and threw molotov

when she transfers the cops’ words “let’s go fuck them up, let’s go kill them”, they’re telling her “we’re not allowing you to talk like this here (...) we don’t care about what the video is saying”

then demanding from her to take it back & apologise to the viewers.
R: apologise first for your phrase & then say what you want
LK: it’s mine, i said it?
R: who did? me?
LK: should i apologise because i transferred it?
R: i don’t know what you did, apologise for saying it live

if we didn’t have social media, we wouldn’t know the truth. but still, a big portion of the people are unaware of the truth because they’re not on social media
the prime minister uploaded a video only after the cop’s injury. nothing about police brutality or the rape accusations (against his buddy Lignades). he basically threatened all who disagree with his decisions and simply want safe and free neighbours

the same cops will be put in our universities soon too.
don’t let it slide until you, a family member or a friend experience police violence. speak up now, take action. we want a safe country
here is a little about everything else that’s happening

all protests are peaceful until the cops show up
with everything going on this past year, from the long and failed lockdowns to police brutality, at this point we demand the government’s resignation
