    I don’t know if it would go like that these days. Cops now have equipment to beat a small army. It’s insane that we let it get like this.

    We were so innocent back in the day - my bit of activism was protesting campus security getting certified as a police force. Did no good, so now every incident has someone bringing guns and looking to escalate

      The US military with the fanciest equipment in existence at the time couldn’t even conquer Vietnamese or Afghan farmers. If protestors took the Black Panther approach and the cops did start shit, the cops would lose.
