(via Boing Boing)Correction: this is the Lincoln Memorial across from the Capitol. But yes I'm aware this is the Natl Guard. Honestly, both of those facts make this worse. This show of force at the Lincoln Memorial is a SPECIFIC kind of symbolic/mnemonic violence.

I don't see cops taking selfies. I see a group of deplorable insurrectionists/traitors/terrorists who outnumber the cops (and probably out-gun them as well) tormenting the cops by forcing them to stand there while they (the deplorables) take pictures of them.
ReplyDeleteSort of the same way members of the US military did with Iraqi detainees at Abu Ghraib prison during the Gulf War ... and were eventually reprimanded/disciplined for it.
But of course, nothing will come of this, even though these people are mostly maskless and could be easily identified through their twitter feeds or other means.

The cement around white privilege and acceptance of racism cured to rock hard today as the foundation of American democracy was invaded by gun carrying, Trump supporting, white people waving confederate flags, while scant reaction was put forward by the most heavily armed government in the world.
ReplyDeleteSorry, but I am glad I live somewhere else.
Traitors to the gallows!
ReplyDeleteAppalling contrast.
