  2. After the death of Quentin Derqnque, lesson to be learned by #fascists worldwide:
    Even if you attack a #peaceful, #antifascist Demo, with #unarmed participants, and you bring clubs and chairs as weapons, #antifa will #defend themselves against these vicious attacks, and you could end up being the one that loses their lives.

  5. #London #police are engaging in a petulant, passive-aggressive temper tantrum because one of their officers is being held accountable for murdering an #unarmed black man. Rather than review their policies, and improve training on the lawful use of deadly force, they're now refusing to carry #guns. Their goal is to allow the city to descend into chaos so they can teach us all a lesson for committing the crime of demanding police accountability. What a bunch of #pussies.

  6. But… 3 #BorderPatrol agents fatally shot Mr. #Mattia as they came upon him…, hitting him 9 times, acc/to an autopsy. A Border Patrol report says he had tossed a sheathed machete toward an officer & then “abruptly extended his right arm.” His family said he was #unarmed & posed no threat.

    His death has touched off an outcry on the #TohonoOodham Nation, which lies along 62 mi of the so border, & stirred up long-running resentments over the federal agency’s presence on #NativeAmericanTerritory.

  7. .@KnockDotLA analyzed decades of data from the LA #Sheriffs Department and found that according to their own records, 1 out of every 3 #shootings was at an #unarmed person. knock-la.com/life-under-the-gu

  8. @geekaren if not for the spontaneous action of people such as Mr. Tray rapidly confronting an individual w deadly intent using automatic weapons, w/out pausing to consider his own safety, many more people would have died and been wounded. Why do people on the scene repeatedly have to place their lives in harms way to prevent mass killings in America? #thankful #grateful to those who #selflessly #SaveLives Preventing #GunViolence should not be the responsibility of #unarmed #Good #Semaritans
