.@PhillyMayor Kenney/Commissioner Outlaw (literally her name) think they can lie on nat'l TV about what happened on 676 to justify gassing/shooting canisters/rubber bullets directly at nonviolent protesters from the ground & helicopters. Little brother was watching you. A thread:pic.twitter.com/lapTxmvke4
They claim an officer was surrounded and trapped inside his squad car. This footage (above) shows the car empty. They claim the protesters became violent. This shows them marching peacefully, then fleeing after an officer neutralizes a demonstrator.pic.twitter.com/rBqDpw3lfZ
It shows protesters trapped on both sides of 676 & fleeing up the hill between 20th + 21st ST THEN getting attacked like fish in a barrel on the hill where the only way out was to scale a 10ft concrete wall+fence. 3:25 - direct hit by a gas canister What this video DOES show:
It shows police escalating aggression. It shows people standing together. It shows people in their cars honking in support of the protesters. It shows people helping each other escape. It shows solidarity against state oppression. It shows people standing for black lives.
@rw_briggs here's new footage if you want to update the @WHYY articlehttps://youtu.be/cXzWicPCNQg
Outlaw has been doing the same for years and it gets her promoted and bigger jobs.pic.twitter.com/WyfLrccQRI
Insane. They have no idea what good policing actually looks like. No one who has would brag about ‘kicking butts’. In no other western country (that I know of) will you hear that kind of tone from law enforcement leadership. Actively looking for a fight.
Dude I was watching this on a helicopter live stream as it was happening. Insane that u were actually there. I was appalled at what I was seeing. Hope you’re safe.
Thank you so much for this. Knowing that they will no longer be able to lie about this is comforting. Hopefully they will retract what they said and charges will be filed against them and the PPD.
