Copyrighted Image? DMCA | Friday night in St. Louis, a peaceful, silent protest was organized to raise awareness and call an end to police brutality. It was referred to on social media as #shutdownbaseball. The protest took place outside of Busch Stadium during a Cardinals game. The road was already closed off for baseball fans, and the protesters simply held their signs and chalked the sidewalks. The protest was largely uneventful except for some people becoming upset when they saw a flag being "disrespected." [Note: I suggest forcing yourself to watch the video; the gut feeling of what police brutality and hate is truly about will likely be with you for a while, like the rest of your life. Just last night I watched "Sarah's Key" and was watching the same phenomenon back in 1942. Washington and the Big Boys have beyond doubt recreated the Gestapo--their last line of defense from sanity.] |
