TW TW TW : Abuse, physical abuse, violence, abuse towards WOC/women

This is enraging.

At :54 seconds you see a cop, actually, a captain literally grab what looks to be a WOC by the hair. He literally grabs her hair and she hits the ground. You hear, “he pepper sprayed her!”. 

There is a lot of screaming. Completely in pain blood boiling screams coming from women.

This. Just this. I have watched several videos about the Occupy Wall Street protests and I am absolutely enraged. I have seen men of color be picked out from a crowd and arrested. I have seen women (white and WOC) penned in like cattle and maced by captains. I have seen men (white & MOC) smashed in to the ground because they were simply near enough to grab.

I have generally seen all sorts of absolutely disgusting, abusive and repulsive behavior. 

This is NOT being covered in the news. This is why I am adamant about blogging. There is a media blackout, yahoo mail is censoring any e-mails containing the “suspicious words”, people that are being arrested are not being read their rights, being told why they are being arrested, not being given water, medical treatment and are being held in cells/backs of vans for 6-12 hours. They are being given one call and if they ask for a phone book, they are being refused the call. 

It isn’t new. It isn’t something that hasn’t been seen in the past. Action towards change. Action towards change…
