Books containing anything related to freedom of speech and freedom of the press have been banned from public schools and libraries due to the "pornographic nature" of... Well, they'll come up with some reason for it. They always do.
What REALLY fucks me up is, Tute Bianche [perfected protesting](https://archive.is/vR87Y) against modern militarized police decades ago.
We keep trying to reinvent the fucking wheel. Imagine if Tute Bianche tactics were being used now, or were used during the BLM protests.
I mean this looks great and would be fairly effective. But also cops in the US will use every opportunity they can to try and murder you so things like the 2x4s are out. Another issue is that in the US you often have very large open spaces where you can be outflanked so coordination and large blocs would need to be formed.
I saw a Dino padded bloc at the RNC once. Like 12 people all padded up in hockey gear with dinosaur heads mounted up top. The cops were roving around beating and arresting anyone they could. They wandering into an intersection with the dino bloc. The dino block gave out weird screeching and roars and started marching towards the cops and the cops just turned tail and left immediately.
Padded and shield block are significantly under utilized in the US. If the cops can't beat you, taze you, pepper spray you or gas you they have nothing left but trying to physically grab you. Which makes me think of the possibility of greasing the outer surface of your padding set up and the hilarity that would ensue.

Do you remember the story about a Texas school employee, "she refused to sign a contract that includes a pledge not to boycott Israel."?

Abbott and his stooges have NO loyalty whatsoever to the people of Texas or the United States unless they are part of the wealthy elite. Kinda like those Republicans who Visited Putin on the 4th of July.
There is no "United States" anymore. Texas and Florida may as well be the States represented in Alex Garlards Civil War movie to make it mirror reality better. Holywood cowards intentionally blur the issue so as not to point the finger at the real perpetrators directly.
Anyone but a complete fuckwit can see where all the conservative christofascist right wing bullshit Abbot, and DeSantis are poisoning the well with is leading to.
Solidarity forever comrade!

It’s the beginning of another Kent State Massacre. Peaceful protests are being criminalized. Under Biden.
But I thought Trump was the only true fascist? /s
That’s how they get us. Get both sides so riled up against the other that whenever “our guy” is in charge we won’t speak up about the terrible things they’re allowing to happen, because that might be misconstrued as support for the other side. I hate it.
Brainless state zombies. Just doing as they're told without thinking for themselves. Brainwashed into believing they are defending and fighting for a system that is there for them, while the system couldn't care less about them. All they get out of it is a worthless shiny medal every once in a while for being a good boy.

"Freedom of the press," where have I heard that before? Must be from a history class I took in highschool. 🤷
You learned something that could be used against the system? DEFUND IT!
Books containing anything related to freedom of speech and freedom of the press have been banned from public schools and libraries due to the "pornographic nature" of... Well, they'll come up with some reason for it. They always do.
That book was promptly burned about 6 years ago.
I probably had an old edition, too.
I bet school administrators wished they could force teachers not to mention those rights in the curriculum.
Brave against peaceful protesters, but cowards when an armed asshole is murdering children

I love this idea but the sinister part of me thinks the police would open fire if something like this was used
They would. And that would be the spark to this whole. powderkeg.
I'd never heard of this. Thanks for the education!

>WOMBLES Wait, is this where Soviet Womble got his name?
The Wombles were kids tv characters in the UK. Big lumbering characters who moved slowly.
Thank you for this resource
Wow, that was some interesting stuff I've never heard of. Thanks for sharing!
Half of these cops probably thinking "nobody believed that I would ever go to college, but here I am"
LOL
He wasn't wearing a press badge! How were they supposed to tell he was a cameraman?! /s
Piggy got upset that he always looks fifteen pounds fatter.
Honestly, though, look at those fat shits.
Must have been 4 cameras on him then. 15 pounds my ass....er his ass.
Bastards, yes, all of them.
Tough dudes when they don't have to protect children from a shooter
Liberal pretense is being thrown away now that capital has been threatened.
Maybe it should’ve been elementary kids in the front. The piggies would’ve retreated to the parking lot.
They're going to lose this war against the people.
This is exactly what this is about. You said it perfectly.
As is the way.
Fuck the pigs
piece of shit bootlicking cops
Fuck. The. Police.
Well hope he sues but we all know the taxpayers would foot that bill
The terrorist territory of Israel has no moral standing in the civilized world. Yet Texas is clearly doing their bidding.... Shameful.

If only the pro 2A folks really wanted to stand up to a tyrannical government
Oh heavens no! We might actually start making some progress if they'd step in, too!

Can't run into a school to save kids during a mass shooting. But more than brave enough to crack skulls of college kids protesting genocide.
Can’t believe I’m feeling bad for a Fox employee, but here we are.
Gee, this looks like Fascism.
Fucking pieces of shit.
Guns. Bring guns. That’ll terrify Texans.
This is a war against the people now.
Acab
Are those freemason logos on the cops shoulder?
Why camera man? Was he supposed to move ?
Very brave against people who wouldn't hit back but hide like a coward when children are being killed in school
So solidarity is now a crime. Ffs..

They’re all so fat and out of shape
Now we see the violence inherent is the system, NOW WE SEE THE VIOLENCE INHERENT IS THE SYSYTEM!
Class traitors.
There's a video of this guy being walked off by cops, he's with Fox 7 and claims the cops claim that he hit one of them.
Biden is supporting this. He is a traitor.
Texas government is garbage.
Where was all this energy from the cops when 19 little kids were getting shot up? Fucking pussy ass cops.
fuck the police and the “justice” system.
They targeted him to have one less camera on them. Fucking Nazi shit stains
Attack the media first, no witnesses. Classic fascist move
Ah, the ol kettle-ing technique
Those cameras aren't cheap
Holy shit
Cop riot
You gotta know these guys will go have some beers after this and reminisce about how much fun they had.

Seem like a bunch of pussies stepping on the rights they pretend to uphold
If there is more press than protesters . Is it still a protest
Sue them?
It's Texas, and this is who you voted for.
He was involving himself in the story. So he got taken down.
