Arbitrarily detained students report brutality and sexualised threats from police officers, including threats to “fuck” them and being called “sluts”. Accounts describe physical violence including strangulation, intimidation and humiliation in police custody.

Protests have been met with unprecedented police brutality & mass detention: 1,949 on the 1st October, 90% minors. This exceeds daily arrest peaks during May 1968, Yellow Vests & 2005 & 2023. 215 injured kids. 15-year-old lost a hand; another an eye to a and another suffered a fractured jaw.

Looking at different videos of police confiscating protests signs, it seems to me that the signs that are confiscated all point towards police brutality. It is now officially verboten to not only protect oneself from arbitrary police repression, but also to call it out.

Here's a good overview of the student protests in France, which began in Paris suburbs, in working-class schools attended by many black & brown students, & have spread nationwide. The government has tried to end the protests through violent repression. It hasn't worked. f24.my/CCfu

In Lochiel, Arizona, where people have been resisting the construction of the border wall, one brave activist locked down to construction machinery—and Border Patrol drove it away with them locked to it. "We're taking you to the middle of nowhere where no one can hear you scream."

Please don't pick up canisters shot at you by police. Even if you can differentiate between tear gas and stun grenades, both of those canisters burn hot or explode and can seriously injure you Throwing it back at the cops might be rad, but the mvmt also needs you with all of your limbs intact
