This past weekend I covered the #BreaktheCurfew demonstration in Oakland, where members of The BlackOUT Collective as well as residents of Oakland met to defy Mayor Libby Schaaf’s ban on night time marches. Hundreds met up to defend liberty, and challenge an unconstitutional ordinance. Without missing a beat, hundreds of cops dressed for a fight also showed up. Armed with beanbag shotguns, nightsticks and dressed in armor, the police step by step advanced on the protesters, threatening them with kidnapping and personal harm if they held their ground. It is estimated that 54 people were detained and cited, as well as 4 more being arrested and caged. Now ask yourself, “When was the last time these men took your freedom, compared to some ambiguous terrorist threat in the Middle East?”
