Standing here amidst the chaos, my heart is racing as fast as the sweat dripping down my skin while I watch the world burn. Seeing those city-sanctioned supplies scattered and those brave, handsome EMTs being handled so roughly by the PD just does something primal to my soul. There is a raw, dirty beauty in standing up for our inalienable rights, and I’ve always had a weakness for anyone brave enough to get their hands a little messy for a cause. I’ve got a taste for rebellion that’s as spicy as the tension in the air, and I’m looking for someone who can handle this much heat without breaking a sweat. Come whisper your wildest thoughts about this Asheville madness in my ear, or better yet, check out more of me to see how I really handle the pressure. Don’t be shy, baby; let’s dive into this beautiful, chaotic mess together and see exactly how deep we can go.
There’s hundreds, probably thousands of videos showing the police macing, tear gassing, attacking, beating, and spraying rubber bullets at peaceful, non-violent protestors. In addition to this instance here, there’s several videos of police destroying water and supplies.
And yet, the Cop apologists still fail to see that they are actively going down in history as the people who blindly accepted the injustices in front of them during one of the biggest American civil rights movements of all time.
Edit : yes, it has been confirmed to be the biggest civil rights movement in history solely based on number of people involved. There are protests in all 50 states, which is unprecedented here in the U.S! We will have to wait and see just how impactful it turns out to be with lawmaking.
*The medic team, made of EMTs and doctors, said the medical station was approved by the city.*
Next level messed up right here.
Asheville, NC?
Keeping in mind that this is from a medic station that was ***sanctioned by the city***. They contaminated saline so that it would give people burns if used to combat tear gas. They brutalized the volunteer medics that were there, all wearing clear markings indicating they were as such.
This is inexcusable. This is abhorrent.
It’s fucking un-American.
Edit: To everyone who says that “this is America” and that “it has always been this way”, let me say this: your view of America is narrow.
I see a country with the capability of providing for all of it’s citizens, black white, red, blue, and everything in between. A country that has the capacity to push past hatred, and unite together in common cause. I see a nation that has the ability to lead the way, to be a beacon for all of those who would be oppressed, starved, or forgotten. I see a nation that has the ability to reshape itself, to look into the mirror and recognize the need for change. A nation that enshrines the Inalienable Rights into law. We are a nation founded on our ideals. Our ideals are that all men are created equal, and that they’re endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights, that include Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.
We CAN push past this. We WILL push past this. Let us unite together, and form a more perfect Union. Let us stand United against tyranny, hatred, and Those that would divide us. We can be heard.
We can change this Nation. There’s still time.
I understand looting and rioting is wrong, but the people who are solely focused on condemning that and totally ignoring this are part of the problem. The police brutality, abuse of power and corruption the whole world is currently witnessing for the past week should not be normal.
