I am an army vet and I fought for this country so we can supposedly be free under the constitution and he more I watch these videos and hear from my friends about the police brutality and the complete opposite of freedom I start to think ...can there ever be Peace? The harsh reality is no....I'm not sure if it's illegal to wear my army combat uniform but I will be there wearing it on wednesday October 5th...I will be as peaceful as allowed but I will not be pushed over either...i apoligize but an example must be made so the Message is loud and clear ...If I have to sacrifice my blood for others to awaken so be it but I will not go down without a fight
Good for you sir. The movement needs more individuals like yourself. I always like to quote Malcolm X on this issue.
"I'm nonviolent with those who are nonviolent with me. But when you drop that violence on me, then you've made me go insane, and I'm not responsible for what I do. And that's the way every Negro should get. Any time you know you're within the law, within your legal rights, within your moral rights, in accord with justice, then die for what you believe in. But don't die alone. Let your dying be reciprocal. This is what is meant by equality. What's good for the goose is good for the gander."
A badge does not give a man free reign to do as he pleases just as your military uniform did not give you free reign to commit war atrocities.
Anonymous Backs the movement through their Internet aggression we should follow suit in the streets with the same aggression...I'm all for non violence but for how long are we gonna stand around and watch our brothers and sisters get Physically abused by those WE PAY WITH TAX DOLLARS TO PROTECT THE CITIZENS THERE CAN NEVER BE PEACE!
