A person was shot by a federal law enforcement officer in Minneapolis on Wednesday evening after resisting arrest and “violently assaulting” an officer, the Department of Homeland Security said in a statement, as the city is still reeling in the aftermath of last week’s fatal shooting of Renee Good by an ICE agent.
While I appreciate this. It is accurate in what the law says. It’s not really helpful.
I think Americans need to quickly realize that their “rights” have been demoted down to the average black person. The same lies and tactics used for decades will be used and justified on all of us now. And it will not stop there. That is just the first bar.
The same tactics and lack of due process is already escalating to the degree of how Israel treats Palestinians in the west bank (not that bad yet obviously).
This is what we will experience. Fascism is just Imperialism turned inward.
So, while it is good to “know your rights” as it may for a time or a certain situation be helpful as a tactic. That is just quickly not making any difference anymore.
I really think we need more focus on forming forms of community resistance. “Your rights” are not going to save you. You need numbers and the pressure of your community that has your back.
The day is coming when they will treat some chosen Blue city like Gaza, and burn it to the ground. They’ll think it will send a message, but as usual, these Dumb Apes will send the wrong message.
Sadly, it won’t be the first time the US dropped bombs on its own citizens.
