POLICE BRUTALITY. The guy on the ground was thrown down, pepper sprayed multiple times, kicked in the temple and back of the head, and then beat with a baton. For what? Taking photos of another person being assaulted by police. I was choked with my own helmet by a cop and Brian was maced - again… FOR TAKING PHOTOS. Chicago Tumblrs - who got video? We NEED to get this out to the media. (via abeird:soylentgreenispeople:bnf) This is horrible. We, as citizens, have a right to photograph or videotape the police as they do their jobs. They work for us. And we especially have that right when they are abusing their power. The police are not infallible and they should not be able to get away with assaulting ( And, in many cases, murdering ) law-abiding citizens. So [****ing] sick of it. Stuff like this really gets on my nerves. Police brutality is absolutely NOT okay. Ever. Period.
