things are going down in atlanta. people have shut down the I-75 in response to Rayshard Brooks’ murder. its hard to find information on here - I don’t know if it’s tumblr shutting down the tags or what - so it’s important to share.
police are cracking down on protesters. they pepper sprayed protesters and used flash bangs to attempt to clear people out from the Wendy’s where Rayshard was murdered by police. it was after this that the Wendy’s was set on fire
atlanta police have been notorious for brutality against protesters. an official amendment to a statement from the US Secret Service was released 14 hours ago (13/06/20) proving Atlanta PD’s use of tear gas against protesters after weeks of lying:
the protests are working - the officer that killed Rayshard has been fired - but no one is facing charges yet, and this has to stop. in the words of Rayshard’s cousin, Decatur Redd:
“We’ve been watching this happen for so many years, with young black boys around the country just dying in vain. I just don’t want that to continue and keep happening like that.”
support the protesters in their fight for justice and against the APD. Donate here to the Atlanta Solidarity Fund to help provide jail support, bail, and access to representation:
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
