unbelievably belligerent and unsafe behaviour from the police at #claphamcommon this evening.
the primary health risk i saw was the officer who stood right in my face and screamed that he was going to fine me if i didn’t leave immediately. #VigilforSarah

the vigil was gorgeous at dusk. people had brought candles and flowers; their children, their dogs. we were wearing masks and at a safe distance from one another.
i do not understand on what possible planet this violent, oppressive response could have seemed like a good idea.

sadly, i’ve been on enough protests to know what might happen. and i prepped for it. gave my boyfriend 3 emergency contacts for me. law firm’s number on my arm and in my bra. food, water, spare clothes, meds in my bag.
totally normal, rights-respecting country.

i’m home safe, luckily. i’m not going to get “who do you protect?” out of my head any time soon.
i have no idea where some of my friends are and i have every reason to worry that they may have been hurt and/or arrested.

anyway, time to rest. will hopefully check in with friends in the morning. Monday, we deal with the #PoliceCrackdown Bill.
protest is not a gift, it’s a right. love, rage and solidarity always 💗
