This is the kind of thing I expect to see in other countries. This is the moment that show cases how bad an empire in a movie or a TV show can get. But to see this in my country, its bull shit.
I will let Anderson Cooper and Legal Eagles say most of it down here.
Hell, might as well put Annasi here.
Long story short, Lafayette Square is a park that is very close to Washington and is famous for having protests left and right due to this proximity.
Due to President Trump wanting a photo op Infront of a church he rarely has anything to do with, without warning, and long before curfew, he sent armed soldiers and law enforcement to assault and shoot teargas into a group of protesters. They were not violent, they were not rioting, but they were treated as if they were armed thugs charging the Rose Garden. It was so brutal, a news crew were attacked by these so called officers of the peace, with many people (including the news camera man) getting video of the unprovoked attack.
RepeatTrump did this so he could walk to the nearby church, and have a photo op with a bible in hand. Local police nor St John's Epicycle Church were informed of this, and this seemed preplanned.
More importantly, while he seems happy enough to let the States decide their own methods of dealing with Covid-19 and curtail potential deaths. Yet, a few bad faith actors hijack pockets of the legit and actually peaceful protests and have armed soldiers to take control (which ironically and thankfully enough, many of these same National Guard members letting down their riot shields and joining the protesters).
Again, this what I expect from foreign dictatorships, not here. ANd not it 2020.
There is a reason people are upset, and there is a legitimate reason for these protests and its because of long running issues that are long overdue.
This is something so Sacro Sanct to the American people that it was the first thing amended in after the Constitute of the United States was first penned. This is the first of the Amendments, the first item on the Bill of Rights. To deny the press the ability to report on what is going on around them, and to deny law abiding citizens from protesting, on an election day no less, violates this.
This is the the kind of evidence that should be been looked for to get him out of office. This is the kind of thing that needs be shared and repeated often. This needs to be shown durring the elections come november. I never thought I would live to see the day where my country was run by a tyrant. It has happened in the past, but not now. I expected fools, incompetance, trigger happy, fall short of expectation, and maybe get lucky to get a few more good ones, tyrant. That dream was taken out back and put out of its misery like Old Yeller.
Thoughts, reactions.
