The mayor of Akron and Akron PD are pushing a narrative in the media that protesters were unruly and violent. Well I was there and this video is a clip from my live. We were peacefully protesting on a street the city blocked FOR US to protest on when they tear gassed us [thread]
This was after earlier provocation when they lit up a “blue stripe” on the Akron PD as soon as it got dark. Why does this matter? Because the blue stripe became popular as a counter protest to Black Lives Matter. Now think about the context (cont’d)/2

Where is the OUTRAGE from white America regarding the terrorist attack in Buffalo? Where is the “CRT out of schools” outrage? Where is the “not everything is about race” outrage? Where is the “all lives matter” outrage? All I see is “that’s a shame” and it speaks volumes [THREAD]
The terrorist who walked in that grocery store wasn’t JUST indoctrinated online - seeds don’t grow in the sand. The things he read on the internet landed on fertile ground. His ears were READY to receive the hate. Why? Because white America creates an environment for this. /2

Okay, what I am about to say is going to sting a little. But instead of taking it personal — please listen. Please. Veterans have a higher rate of suicide than their civilian counterparts, currently to the tune of 17/day, at its height 22/day. /1
This happens DESPITE “a grateful nation”, despite the ENDLESS auto-pilot “thank you for your service” pat on the back. Veteran suicides continues to be high because this country doesn’t actually give a shit about us. Please, I am begging you, when you see a vet /2

Since everyone is debating NOW our presence/continued presence in Afghanistan. Let me tell you a story from when I was on deployment in Afghanistan as a soldier. Trigger warning this story contains death. We were in Kandahar, southern Afg, and one day a civilian truck got hit /1
By an IED (a roadside bomb). The truck was carrying in it fruit and the fruit went everywhere. The driver of the truck was an Afghan National and so we believe the detonation was an accident. But the fruit from the truck was strewn all over the road and the truck was blocking /2

For the 🤡 who like to ask me “how many UNARMED black people were killed though?” Let em answer.
Philando Castile was legally armed and TOLD the cop he had the gun. Still murdered in the front seat in front of a child.
Thread
Tamir Rice, 12 years old, was playing with a TOY GUN at the park with his friends when a cop showed up and MURDERED him in less than 10 seconds upon arrival. He was NOT listed on the record as “unarmed”.
I’m not done yet.
