Here's my report from last night for those who want a fuller picture of NYC under this absurd curfewhttps://prospect.org/civil-rights/the-nyc-curfew-is-a-disgrace/ …

Tonight the NYPD hit a protester walking his bike and journalist @macfathom (also with a bike) with batons, knocking him over twice, completely unprovoked. The hoarse voice screaming “he’s press” is mepic.twitter.com/TVAjawRIO3

Maybe if all the protestors had AR-15’s and a full kit the cops would’ve backed down like they did in Michigan.

@NYGovCuomo and@NYCMayor will finally see what we've all been seeing. I find it hard to believe that no one on their staffs are following the protests on@Twitter.https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2020/06/cuomo-de-blasio-claim-not-to-have-seen-viral-police-violence-videos.html … -

I used to be naive enough to believe there were far more good cops than bad cops. It's probably because I'm white. Over the last week, I've learned there may only be a handful. Total. In the nation.

It's honestly sad it took all this for us to realise yknow. I've seen a lot of that going around and like man, could we really not have just listened when black people have been telling us this shit for years? I'm glad the evidence is there now but I'm ashamed of us
