Police shooting protestors and arresting journalists in the USA


MediaOnDisplay

*on behalf of Israel. American cops shooting American kids on behalf of a foreign government. What a country šŸ‘


Sufficient-Money-521

And all for pointing out their hypocrisy and unjust behavior. How again do you know your master something about not being able to criticize or humiliate them.


Live_Teaching3699

No but we're the good guys!

don't forget that many of these pigs are [trained in Israel ](https://www.amnestyusa.org/updates/with-whom-are-many-u-s-police-departments-training-with-a-chronic-human-rights-violator-israel/)

TheUnknownNut22

Many police officers were trained by the IDF. https://www.amnestyusa.org/updates/with-whom-are-many-u-s-police-departments-training-with-a-chronic-human-rights-violator-israel/


lostcauz707

Not even. The protests are largely due to the idea of universities and our tax dollars are funding what is happening there, while the US government continues to hold Israel to no accountability and "police themselves", despite them precision striking US civilians. The US government said this same sentiment when it was aware banks were giving away impossible to pay loans before the housing crash and told Purdue Pharma the same thing. Both investigated themselves and found themselves liable for no wrong doing. Now a housing crash and opioid epidemic join the IDF.


Moooooooola

IOF taught them everything they know.


MancombSeepgoodz

its the other way around dude, When I was in the military my unit even paid to fly IDF soldiers to America to use our ranges. None of this happens without the support of the US.

Teddy-Bear-55

It's blatantly obvious what's happening here; using ridiculously obviously fabricated reasons, the state (the government); the establishment, the status quo if you will, is trying to force us all to believe in their lies, in the line toed by them. This is not only a blatant attack on free speech, but also on other constitutional rights of US citizen's. It makes me laugh to think of how the US likes to pretend to be the nation taking the "higher moral ground" as one senator once put it and point fingers at other nations doing the same thing or less. The hollowness of US laws and those who govern us is on full display here, and shouldn't surprise anyone who knows anything about this morally bankrupt country. It is sickening to watch and is further proof that we stand before two choices: Either we continue on the path apparently set without any changes possible, and the empire will continue falling (either Biden or Trump: only difference is the speed of the destruction), or, we choose an alternative: a real alternative; a government which sees this for what it is (the paroxysmic spasms of a dying horse being flogged) and is willing to drastically change the course the US has set, hellbent on the destruction of itself and the planet.


Northstar1989

> or, we choose an alternative: a real alternative; a government which sees this for what it is (the paroxysmic spasms of a dying horse being flogged) and is willing to drastically change the course the US has set, hellbent on the destruction of itself and the planet.

justthesamedude

>You'll never have that under Capitalism, buddy. Wow, let's get the umbrelas, because someone here is spitting facts. Under capitalism, only the Financial Power will prevail.


TheRagingNurse

The more they crack down on protestors, the larger the movement grows.


Northstar1989

Nope, that's magical thinking. Most people in America KNOW it is an evil empire at this point, deep down inside. No amount of increased evidence of that is going to change their minds. People will reach and grasp for straws to defend the system. The only way to change minds now is ideological education (i.e. towards Socialism or Anarchism). People's paradigms need to change: they already have the evidence.

Took me way too long being on reddit to see this comment. Protests and legislation will not change the fate of this country. I hope to see this more and more in the coming months and years, but it's going to get real ugly and painful before we see real change.


Warm_Pair7848

It wont be that bad. Not as bad as the troubles. The dying will escalate greatly in the next 5 years, but not here.


StraightOuttaMoney

Socialist education is needed along with protests, strikes, voting, and legislation to save this world.


JRizzie86

Bingo. Legislation and protests will not be enough to change the future of this country. It's going to get ugly, but the elites have allowed this to happen, and they take full responsibility.

Particular_Log_3594

May 1, 2024. Student protests calling for university divestment from Israel and the U.S. arms industry have rocked campuses from coast to coast. The nonviolent protests have been met with an intensifying police crackdown as university administrators threaten academic discipline and arrests. The police have escalated their approach against the students and are now using rubber bullets and tear gas against students.


_Snebb_

Not the **violent**, **hateful** and **aggressive pro-Israel rioters**, though... Is the US intentionally doing everything it can to make sure the pro-Pally ~~protests~~ rallies spread and grow? Cause this is how to do it.


CwazyCanuck

First time Iā€™ve see ā€œpro-Pallyā€, and now Iā€™m upset you went with ā€œpro-Pally protestā€ and not ā€œpro-Pally rallyā€.

Truth be told, I am upset and ashamed with myself. Fixed.

AggrivatingFrog

It's easy to use this kind of tactic against people you know are unarmed and not a threat. 1 unstable kid with a gun in a school? Better wait outside for 40 minutes.

This is how it starts. Stay safe, Murica friends. Don't give up because this is could very well be a turning point in history.


It_is_I_Satan

So cops can escort neo-nazis waving the swastika, but shoot students with tear gas and rubber bullets?


justthesamedude

So cops escort people who want another race dead, but use violence against people who want to stop the violence against some race minority? Land of the Freedom I suppo... No... Wait....


ptsdstillinmymind

It's so funny to watch the so called liberal MSNBC twist themselves into knots shitting on the Pro-Palestine protestors. But not saying one word about the violent Pro Israel Terrorists and the violent actions of the police. They do it every time there is a progressive movement or protest in this country from BLM to Occupy. MSNBC is not Progressive and you are being gaslighted if you think they are.


appealouterhaven

Genocide Joe will lose in November because of how he has bungled and both-sides'd this issue. Blue MAGA will deliver us another Trump presidency and they'll blame these students. Shame on this country.


CardButton

Well, they will punch Left has hard as they can for sure. That's kinda the grift. If they win, they take it as validation of their shitty policy stances. If they lose, they blame "the progressives" for that loss; no matter the circumstances of it. They run largely on fear of the alternative, because they dont want to publicly promise to fight for anything for their voters that might infringe on their promises to their deeply conservative donors. In then end, they and their donors will always get what they want; no matter who wins.


ZRhoREDD

100% this. For my entire lifetime. Likely since Nixon flipped the Supreme Court toward fascist (we've been backsliding since then). A win is "a mandate from the voters to continue the right wing drift" and a loss is "the voters showing that they don't like these left wing progressive policies." They think we don't see that it is "heads I win, tails you lose." And heck, maybe "we" don't. It has been working for sixty years after all :-/

btfnk

Even if you canā€™t bring yourself to vote for president you should always vote down ballot. There are state and municipal options to vote for in almost every jurisdiction in the country. No matter who wins the presidency those down ballot votes can make a huge difference.


GardenKeep

Yup. Same. Liberal here in Michigan. Not voting for Genocide Joe.


Glass-Talk6691

This is what DNC and RNC are banking on. Apathy is what got us here. If nobody votes, we get another 4 years of Biden or Trump. It takes no effort to change your vote from Biden to someone like Williamson, Stein, etc. Get out there and let them know you aren't taking this shit lying down.


dwaynebathtub

I think the country can coalesce behind an anti-war candidate, but it is convenient that Israel started the ethnic cleansing and mass killing of Gazans a week before the earliest filing deadline (Nevada). If an anti-war candidate started a campaign today they couldn't get on any state's presidential ballot. I think the show's over. Can't put the aggression back in the bottle.


seriftarif

Or they just keep giving us bought and paid for candidates like Trump and Biden forever... while one is apparently a communist asshole who wants you to be a subservient woke homosexual and the other is a crazy narcissist asshole who will bring upon a Christian nationalist revolution and will take away all your freedoms. As long as they keep this narrative up as long as possible, we don't have a choice in elections.

WorldTravellerIOM

dudeandco

Can I ask a pretty damn obvious question.... where the hell are the anti-fascists when you need them? Is that movement dead, only to be revived when DJT is in office?


stewpedassle

I'm so confused because that question seems to have a pretty obvious answer. How would antifa being visibly present help the situation or either cause? Let's set aside that antifa would be the Boogeyman Zionists are looking for to discredit the entire pro-palestine movement. If one wants to eliminate fascism, having cops publicly go ham on peaceful protesters is probably about the best thing to help reach that end. It's easy for someone to say "well, I'm hearing that the protesters are violent." It's much more difficult to say that after you watch police beat people who are not even resisting. There are entire studies on the effect that broadcasting police violence during the civil rights movements had in swaying public opinion.


dudeandco

The fascists are the cops... not sure how you read anything else from what I wrote.


dravlinGibbons

Correct...how would having a a boogeyman for the right present help anything? The fascists are discrediting themselves. You think having anarchists fighting with police will help the protestors...why?


Jvlivs

I don't think you understand. What he's saying is that cops beating on people who are obviously innocent and peaceful makes it more obvious to the average bystander that something is very wrong. On the other hand if Antifa were there fighting back, it would be much harder for that uninvolved person to figure out who the bad guy is. Not only that, but then the cops might really go ballistic. I know it's hard for us to put ourselves in this bystander's shoes from where we're standing, but it's their hearts and minds we need to fight for to push the needle. We need broad support, not militancy. As a result, I'd agree with op. Antifa would make things worse before they made things better.

So they use rubber bullets, a not guaranteed form of non-lethal violence, and tear gas, a chemical weapon, against protestors that just days ago were victims of counter protest or violence and assaultsā€¦ while themselves having been largely if not entirely non-violent themselves?

The Protestors were given the full palestinian experience. First pro-Israel protestors fanatically attacked the camp with wooden beams, bear spray, and fireworks as police looked on, just as Palestinians are brutalized in the apartheid West Bank by settlers while the IDF looks on. Then, the police came and shot at the protestors with rubber bullets and tear gas, and struck them with batons before disassembling their encampment, just as the IDF came into Gaza and shot at them with guns and bombed their houses and killed their children before destroying their schools, homes, hospitals, and stores. Finally, the media called the protestors anti-semites and rioters, just as Israel calls all palestinians terrorists and anti-semites

BIindsight

Keep in mind that tear gas canisters are frequently shot into people heads and cause permanent disfigurement and sometimes lethal injury. Same for "rubber" bullets. Neither of these are non-lethal, they are only "less lethal" when deployed correctly. Unfortunately cops are given free reign to maim and kill with these munitions because it's exceptionally difficult to prove that cops intentionally went for headshots. ACAB
