Itâs worse than that. That wasnât a rubber bullet, that was another tear gas canisterâyou can see it a few seconds later in the footage when the camera pans over to the advancing cops.
And they shot him in the crotch with it.
If I were feeling charitable Iâd say that the cop who fired the shell was aiming for center of mass and miscalculated the distance and hit the guy low.
But Iâm not feeling charitable. Itâs clear that was a deliberate malicious attack designed to hurt the guy as badly as possible with the weapon at hand. The goal was to cause him pain and intimidate bystanders.
this really is dystopic, isnât it?
Shout out to the dude who came and helped him up
THIS IS WHY YOU BLACK BLOC. WHEN EVERYONE IS MASKED AND IN ALL BLOC, IT MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT FOR THE POLICE TO TARGET INDIVIDUALS LIKE THIS
MASK UP, COME IN BLOC, BE PREPARED, YOU. COULD SAVE SOMEONES LIFE
Also get to know your street medics and maybe buy them a drink later. Theyâll often be the ones picking you up and making sure youâre good after this shit happens
Iâm all for fantasy stories where supernatural characters protect their human friends, but does anyone else want some stories where the humans are the ones who are looking after their supernatural friends?
A human girl exchanging her silver engagement ring for a cheaper one after she realises why her werewolf friend has been refusing to high five her.
A group of humans throwing coats over their vampire friend because he forgot it was the Summer solstice and was caught out by the sunrise. Those same friends coming to visit him when he wakes up in the late afternoon, bringing him blood from the butcherâs and putting up with his whining about the nights getting longer.
A human hearing that someone stole their selkie friends pelt and coming over to her new âhusband"s house immediately and threatening to punch his lights out unless he tells them where it is.
Humans petitioning the counsel to build a wooden climbing frame in the local playground because the old one has iron parts and their fairy friendâs kids canât use it without burning themselves.
Iâll post more if I can come up with any.
This kinda fits on this blog
Humans getting the local Dryadâs tree and naiadâs pool named as protected landmarks and keeping them clean of trash and litter.
Human mothers raising changelings and other fey and loving them just as much as their own.
Changelings being legally recognised in the same manner as adopted offspring so theyâre entitled to every right expected of a blood relative, even if the adoption process was a bit unorthodox.
