I can't believe it's legal to use tear gas on protestors. According to international law, using tear gas in military conflicts is literally a war crime.
TBQH I also can't believe we live in a world which has essentially decided that war is actually ok as long as you're not *too* much of a dick about it.
Caution for anyone in the US • ironically named "non-lethal" weapons
Found a long Twitter thread documenting some of the atrocities the US police have committed during these protests. It's harrowing to look through. Huge CW for violence and some graphic images of injuries
TwitterChad Loder - @chadloder@kolektiva.social on Twitter“National Guard marches through a quiet residential neighborhood in #Minneapolis, screaming at citizens to get inside.
Soldiers stop to point their guns at residents on their balcony.
They yell “LIGHT THEM UP” as they fire riot control rounds at them.
