maeveleBut I doubt it will help. I''m eeyore today, boyo.
I urge you, plead with you even, to address the police brutality, torture, and illegal detaining of press and medics in the recent protests at the RNC. Obviously, those being detained and abused need someone in the public eye, with a voice that is listened to to draw attention to this abuse of power.
They are beating people, they are refusing people medical care, and in general they have started treating peaceful protesters and journalsts as enemy combatants.
Speaking out against this will show that you will not stand by while our police force become terror squads.
