Our Boys in Blue are making the mistake all authoritarians make eventually: they assume everyone has the same relationship with fear that they do They really think they can beat the protest out of people, because it would work on them I don't think it's going to work here

What IS working, unfortunately, is the way police prevent journalists from getting close enough to film. We need to figure out how to deal with these new tactics I think it's going to involve more recklessness and increased risk. What doesn't, these days?

Now I long for the morning that they realize Brutality and unjust laws cannot defeat us But who'll defend the workers who cannot organise When the bosses send their lackeys out to cheat us? Money speaks for money The Devil for his own Who comes to speak for the skin and the bone?

Getting injured and arrested only further radicalized me, made me angrier at this unjust system, and made me want to protest even more
