A journalist shot by police during the 2020 Minneapolis unrest following the murder of George Floyd is dying from her injuries, friends say.
Linda Tirado was in Minneapolis from out of state covering the protests and rioting when police shot her in the face with a rubber bullet, also known as a “less-lethal” round. She suffered a traumatic brain injury and was blinded in one eye.
Shit. This hits close to home. I was very active on twatter back then and followed Linda. Her girls are pretty young to be losing their mom.
Fucking cops.
Fuck the police
ACAB
bastards doesn’t even begin to cover it any more. I don’t think there is word bad enough - even cunts - to adequate describe their bullshit.
In my part of the world. A cunt is a good friend. He’a s good cunt. The word doesnt have the revulsive power elsewhere that it has in the US. If you want world empathy, pick a different word.
