Silverseren, 1 month ago to news in Motorist charged with assault for striking CUAD protester with car at picket outside trustee’s home

So, yeah, apparently trying to prevent a car from purposefully running you over is illegal. It's "attempted criminal mischief", in fact.

These university administrations and police are such a joke.

For denting the front of the car the protester has been accused of antisemitism and is awaiting trial for hate motivated assault. /s

First they came for the students, and we said “fuck them”

I have disabled students participating in the peaceful encampment/protests @UConn. When cops arrived they put hands on one of my disabled students & dislocated their shoulder. This student is still there, but injured. If @uconn says there are no injuries, that is a lie.

Reasonably sure this is what the 2nd Amendment is for.

Liz, 1 month ago

For real though, if the protesters all showed up open carrying rifles the cops would just stand back and watch.

deadbeef79000, 1 month ago

Eh, not quite what I was going for.

This is the tyranny that an armed populace is supposed to be protection from.

But thinking about it, an armed protest would be among the first steps.

The police have ever been henchmen of the capitalist class that has ever ruled this country. Their core purpose is to protect the capitalists’ private property—historically including chattel slaves—and to discipline labor.

Now that we’ve reached imperialism, the monopoly stage of capitalism, the police are brutalizing anyone who stands between the capitalists and their imperial interests, in this case their interests in West Asia.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Police_brutality#History

Early records suggest that labor strikes were the first large-scale incidents of police brutality in the United States, including events like the Great Railroad Strike of 1877, the Pullman Strike of 1894, the 1912 Lawrence textile strike, the Ludlow massacre of 1914, the Great Steel Strike of 1919, and the Hanapepe massacre of 1924.

Cornell University has temporary suspended me alongside 3 other students/grad workers. They have deliberately targeted students with precarious positions such as visa status. They have given me a grace period but I am no longer permitted on campus. I know they have done this as a means of bringing down the encampment. The university has acted in extremely bad faith and refused to engage in any form of dialogue about our demands. It is clear that they are more concerned with appeasing their Zionist donors and keeping their hands drenched in blood than over the expressed refusal of their students and workers. I’m okay and please don’t stop talking about Palestine.

The more totalitarian a government is, the more the police become henchmen of the leaders.
