Detroit Will Breathe! Peaceful protest
turns into unlawful police brutality
This video footage takes place from 12:30 am to 1:00 am Sunday morning Aug 23, on Woodward Avenue. You see the police not just pushing the protestors away from the site, but clearly violently shoving them to the ground, wanting to hurt them physically with their gas, shields and baton, and beating them when they are already on the ground. As in the still above this headline, you also see the police beating the medics with full swings of their batons. One medic has a broken rib and internal damage. All these visuals shows what a liar Chief Craig is, claiming that the protestors were the violent ones. It is this pattern of lies coupled with Craig inviting AG Barr to visit Detroit via helicopter just prior to the police violence, that leads Detroit Will Breathe and others to demand his resignation. Chief Craig, Mayor Duggan and their friends are now clearly tools for Trump. What are the implications for the coming election period? Will Duggan and Craig invite the same Federal goons who were in Portland into Detroit? Are the ones already here staying, to be used against future non-violent protesters?

MOVEMENT FOR PEOPLE's PARTY: Nina Turner's Speech
What Defunding the Police Really Means
We know that police don't keep us safe -- and as long as we continue to pump money into our corrupt criminal justice system at the expense of housing, health, and education investments -- we will never be truly safe.
Kenosha Tells Us More About Where the Right Is Headed Than the R.N.C. Did
The most revealing thing to happen in conservative politics this week did not involve the Republican National Convention, at least not directly. Instead, it took place in Kenosha, Wis., in the aftermath of a shooting on Tuesday night that killed two people and wounded a third.
Jacob Blake Shooting Shines New Light on Death of Michael Bell,
Killed by Kenosha Cops in 2004
In light of the police shooting of unarmed African American father Jacob Blake, we look at the past misconduct of the Kenosha Police Department. In 2004, Kenosha police killed white 21-year-old Michael Bell in front of his mother and sister. The Kenosha Police Department conducted its own review of the incident and, within two days, completely exonerated the officers.
