On November 18th, 2011, a peaceful protest was held in UC Davis. A branch of “Occupy Wallstreet”, Occupy UC Davis was intended to protest police violence on UC campuses. The police responded by hearing their concerns, agreeing and then pepper-sprayed the protesters. That’s right, they attacked students that were protesting the fact that they attack people. source
If you’re thinking “Oh man, someone got some compensation for this, right!?” Yup. Someone did. The cop.
That’s more than a lot of people make in a full year. source
UC Davis “Investigated” this. And the guy who conducted the investigation was a Police Chief William J. Bratton - Chairman of the private business that provides UC Davis’s security. SOMEHOW there wasn’t enough evidence to charge the officers involved in this incident. source
It just came out that UC Davis has paid $175,000+ to a private “Image Management firm”, who is putting all of that sweet, sweet dollar into manipulating Google’s search engines, as well as other networks, to make it a lot LOT harder to find reminders that this happened. Read that what-proper:

So let’s take a stand. Let’s fight back against their attempts to censor the truth and avoid accountability for their awful, awful actions and violent corruption. I have before you a perfectly shareable image set, complete with sources and screenshots of proof. Let’s all work together and get the word out about this chicanery. #Love it!
im mixed. half white, and half black.
for the longest time, this made me feel like my opinion on matters such as police brutality and racism didnt matter; half of me was the one doing the oppressing, after all. i felt like i had no right to speak out about these issues cause i was only half-worthy, being only half black. and no, im not saying this to throw a pity party or for anyone to feel bad for me cause i "cant come to terms with my identity" or whatever. im saying this because that mindset i had was stupid. stupid and insensitive and wrong. not being fully black, not being black at all, does not exempt us from speaking out against the violence that black people face.
yes, we should always put the voices of the black community before our own, as they are the ones who have to experience this brutality, but that doesnt mean we just get to sit and stay quiet, claiming that we've already done our part. we need to listen, understand, and ACT. sitting around and saying "oh it breaks my heart that this is happening" or "just because i don't say anything doesnt mean i dont care" doesnt mean shit. the only thing it means is that youre part of the problem. staying quiet is not and will never be an acceptable option
reblog a post to spread awareness, donate a couple bucks, do something. shit like this cant keep happening. we shouldnt allow it to keep happening.
once black lives matter, then, and only then, will all lives matter
(and no dont take this as a way to fuel your savior-complex. support the cause but dont expect to be praised once youve done it. do it because it matters to you, not because you want the congratulatory pats on the back)
hey everyone, people are starting a rumor that I'm "lesbophobic" to try and make me shut down, I've posted so many lesbian rights posts and have so much respect for lesbians but I've been dealing with these rumors for a whole year now. I can't make them stop and it me hurts so much that I can't make posts about respecting lesbians anymore without people saying I'm lying. I don't know what to do
idk
She warned him
no you fucking didn't
