We ALL should be disobeying cops and risking arrest. That's the only option remaining to inspire real change.

@breadandcircuses we should be sabotaging the cops as well, meaning don’t call the cops, don’t help them hunt down people (snitching), call out that millions are spent on cops while crime remains relatively low, poverty is the ‘real’ crime. Stop poverty, when you have a home, food, medical care, and skills, you don’t seek shady shit to make money.

Who knew disobeying cops was a crime. I thought disobeying laws was a crime. You know the old rule of law not rule of man thing.

Consumers and oil companies remain free of such harassment. Destroying the planet through reckless consumption, corporate malfeasance and greed aren’t even misdemeanours.

@breadandcircuses "the protesters disrupted oil traffic". It would be helpful if writers explained the context of actions like this. Why would police punish young people to protect oil traffic. Is there a reason? And gee doesn't it seem a little warm just recently? #climate #reporting #context

@breadandcircuses Disobeying cops means disobeying the law. Not sure if a lawless society is actually a good thing... perhaps a more civil approach could be used, don't you think?

#HowardZinn on the importance of disobedience

Civil disobedience is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience. Our problem is that people all over the world have obeyed the dictates of leaders…and millions have been killed because of this obedience…Our problem is that people are obedient allover the world in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war, and cruelty. Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves… (and) the grand thieves are running the country. That’s our problem.

@breadandcircuses let's be clear you can only be charged with a crime if you refuse a legally given order, police is only legally allowed to order members of the public to maintain safety and public order. The charges will more then likely be dropped.

@breadandcircuses at then end of the day, the authorities can’t let you disobey. Hopefully a sympathetic judge will ask the prosecution if this is the hill they want to die on.

Cops are just soldiers of the extreme right wing! Completely fückin useless at what are supposed to do - love poking their nose in where they are neither wanted nor needed!

In the UK, many people call them the "filth" - I tend to agree!

@breadandcircuses. IMO civil disobedience is the main way bad laws get changed. Brava Greta!
