September 23, 2020 is a day that will live in infamy
Permanently etched into memory
Words cannot do justice to that day
For justice was not done in any way
The Attorney General did render
Bullet abuses legal tender
The Guard and the law backed his play
The people, they had something to say
In the streets and in the square
Folks turned out from everywhere
Shocked, in disbelief
Injustice, without relief
Occupying army, festooned with weaponry
Couldn't suppress the anguished and angry
As darkness fell and the sun set low
The flames of discontent did grow
Spotlights and flashbangs rent the night
As chemical weapons put people to flight
Pursued and surrounded
Relentlessly hounded
As they tightened the noose
All hell broke loose
And gunfire filled the air
What a god damned year.
Some great shots here, friend. Where abouts was this?
I don't think that year can be sufficiently damned but I second that.
Louisville, Kentucky. That was the day the Kentucky AG announced that none of the cops would face charges for killing Breonna Taylor.
Thank ya!
The Breonna Taylor incident is sadly just one of many demonstrating rampant corruption within the police and court system on top of the inherent abuse of all prohibition laws. Plainclothes cops kicking in doors should be a red flag for everyone regardless of political party.
Elijah McClain's murderers were charged, at least. Taylor's killers seem to have escaped largely unscathed, and the one who was rightly shot is suing, trying to claim to be the victim last I heard. This is why ACAB.

Does it still count as corruption if the whole damn structure is rotten through? LMPD is corrupt as hell (before Breonna they were busy covering up how they were molesting kids in their 'explorers' program), but what does one expect of an entity that roots go back to slave catchers and strike breakers?
I am still hopeful that there's a chance of justice in McClain's case, but I'm afraid you're on point in Breonna's case. Speaking of McClain, did you realize that the Minneapolis PD were doing the same thing?
Sorry, I'm still in the habit of sugar-coating my radicalism for normies on the internet.
The police are enforcers for the government first and foremost. Their entire psychological and economic incentive structure is perverse, and what we see as corruption is the inevitable outcome of such a structure. A few bad apples spoil the barrel. Since then police cannot and will not police themselves, the whole system needs to be razed to the ground.
It's all good, I figured that was the case.
Parasitical bully boys for whoever holds the whip, yeah we can do without that. Now to get people to take mutual aid seriously...
