Closest headline that I’ve seen explaining what actually appears to be happening.

More accurate might be intentionally trampling protesters with horses, shooting with (hopefully) rubber bullets at close range, and beating with clubs

I think this is the same woman:

Apparently those videos are from yesterday! I’m seeing news reports about protestors setting cars on fire and causing trouble, but why is nobody reporting this?

    When are Americans going to start suicide bombing? America’s government produced that in other countries and now they seem like they are trying to get it started here. We need more war on “terror”. /S

      They knew in November 2024 that a second Trump term would result in a police state, yet millions either chose to vote for the orange fuckhead or stayed home. So they’re getting exactly what they wanted.

        I think that’s the narrative they want you to believe, but I think the truth is society is manipulated. And I’m not sure if it’s like the CIA or FBI… Or the Vatican, or freemasons… They all have a history of working with organized crime and commiting crime. What happened to that 3 trillion dollars that was stolen from the military years ago… Sounds like enough money to use to psychologically move society into a certain direction.

        There is no left and right anymore… It’s honest genuine human souls vs criminals. And that goes from the streets to the president. It’s all the same evil from the streets to the mainstream. When you understand the criminal mindset and the ideology of “the game” then it’s like it’s all blatantly in the open. I know it sounds stupid saying the game… Like how rappers brag about the game… But it’s the same lawless game from the street to the president and crime is intertwined into everything.

          Decades of voter suppression + conservative propaganda + social media manipulation + never fucking holding any conservatives accountable leads to a vote where the absolute worst people are against those who haven’t completely given up hope on society but were still allowed to vote.

          Like watching Trump be forced onto state ballots despite trying to overthrow an election was soul crushing. Forcing myself to vote for Harris and pretend it meant anything positive was painful, it was just a futile attempt to not be exactly where we are today.

          Notice how there was absolutely zero follow up on the votes in the areas where the election deniers were running things? Notice how Trump didn’t get even the slightest slap on the write from 34 felonies? That is why he won, because the entire system is absolutely broken and the Dems as a party have no interest in fixing anything. Sure, a few have spines, but the majority want to play nice with 21st century fascists as if taking the high road ever solved anything.

            It’s beyond a broken system. Have you read about the kid that tried to assassinate trump. It sounds like he was like extorted or forced to commit it. I swear there’s a dark side of the government or a a criminal group in the government that pressures poor people, loners, and criminals to commit crimes for them. Like the guy that broke into pollosis home and hit her husband with a hammer…

            No one understands how dark life really is and how crime is completely intertwined everywhere right under our noses. Americans are indoctrinated to be naive escape via marketed consumerism to the point they barely ever experience what it truly means to be a genuine human being.
