A MILLION PEOPLE ALTOGETHER

100% PEACEFUL MANIFESTATION WHERE WE CHANTED THE NATIONAL ANTHEM AMONGST OTHER THINGS UNTIL THE POLICE AND SPECIAL FORCE UNIT CAME ALONG

ESSENTIALLY: IT WAS SOME S.O.S. ONU SHIT

THEY WERE NOT TRYING TO DISPERSE US THEY WERE PURPOSEFULY TRYING TO HURT US

it was brutal and merciless. in sum:

internet connection was shut down. not even our cellphone signals worked. all street traffic cameras were cut off.
they have rushed to a full street like the one above with their cars meaning to run us over;
tossed pepper spray, stun grenades and rubber bullet at us for absolutely no reason;
police has chased, cornered and threatened us (undercover ones as well);
tossed tear gas inside subway stations and at a hospital entrance;
doctors and patients were intimidated and threatened inside hospitals as well;
a group that seeked shelter inside an university was blocked and cornered because all exists were taken. anyone who tried to leave was attacked. tear gas and grenades were also used against the ones inside;
at other neighborhoods, lethal weapons and actual bullets were used;
there are reports of people whose hand or feet have to be amputated thanks to stun grenades while others were injured with rubber bullets right in the eye/face (and one actually hit me in the back because a motherfucker aimed right at me and before you sneer let me tell you — that shit HURTS).

we are being attacked for no reason by the ones who are supposed to protect us. we’re being opressed, they’re trying to take away our right to march to the streets (and in some cases, even walk through them).

the media has not talked about any of this. when they choose to show us, they portray us as criminals which is NOT true. (for the most part — because i won’t lie, some stores have been plundered but that’s a really small cunning group that have taken the opportunity to rob; they do NOT represent us) we are people fighting for our basic right and we don’t deserve to be treated like this.
