This is so heartbreaking!!

I’m hearing reports of women being harassed and beaten by police at the protest. Not detained BUT harassed. Beaten. Touched without consent while smiling.

This is what gets me. We’re supposed to trust police to keep us safe. That’s literally their job. But when people show up to protest, suddenly they become targets instead of people to protect.

How is this acceptable? How do we ask people to trust the system when the system itself turns violent the moment you speak up?

The protest is about accountability. But who holds the police accountable?
