Breaking hearts in Quakertown, Pennsylvania 💔

High school students were peacefully protesting when police allegedly escalated it after claiming snowballs were thrown. The chief in plainclothes put a teenage girl in a chokehold before others stepped in to protect her.

No child should face violence for demanding justice. ✊💙

@LibertyOverGov

This should have a content warning.

@TheZorse @LibertyOverGov

no it should not

this is anodyne content that anyone on social media sees all the time

your instinct here is to censor police brutality, which only allows police brutality to occur unseen. your instinct is helping police brutality, unintentionally

if this were gore? i would 100% agree with you

but i disagree with you here on *this particular* content because people need to see

@benroyce @LibertyOverGov

I don't need or want to see this. I'm also not American, so seeing it doesn't empower me to help the situation. It's just traumatic.

It's not censorship. It's respect.

@TheZorse @LibertyOverGov

well then respect us in the usa who are going through this trauma, who need examples of police brutality broadcast as far as can be seen to help fight it

if you don't want to see it you can block or unfollow

but what you can't do is gatekeep on our abuse for the sake of your need for an antiseptic timeline

if it was gore or pornography, you could. but it isn't, so you can't

all you are doing is helping police brutality by hiding it. you are in the wrong here

@benroyce the hash tags should be a bit more accurate though, for proper filtering. some folks will have trauma re-triggered by that picture.

@TheZorse @LibertyOverGov

@draNgNon @TheZorse @LibertyOverGov

i would like to believe that anyone who has suffered police brutality would like us to fight police brutality. which you do by broadcasting it

but i have no problem with your request for a hashtag
