How the hell is protesting racketeering??
Protestors have been charged with terrorism, too. Oh yeah, and also just straight-up murdered. By the police.
What’s going on here is that, because they’re protesting against the police’s playground, the police are taking it personally and leaning all the way into the jackbooted thuggery that folks were worried Cop City would facilitate in the first place.
They want to get some training in either way.
Cuz cops are corrupt piles of shit
Judges too
Of course. They are the same. They belong to the same club. They are cut from the same cloth. Fuck em both.
Georgia AG loves to use that charge for lots of things. Essentially it’s RICO if you plan a crime with at least 1 other person then they any step towards that crime. Even if that step isn’t by itself illegal. They would need evidence (ideally) that any of the charged protestors had planned a crime and that being at the protest was a step towards it. The actual crimes needed to qualify for RICO at the federal level is pretty slim and serious. Unsure what Georgia considers it.
Ayyyyyyyyyyyyy this is exactly the type of training they’re training for at Cop City. Making it easy.
It’s good that people are still out there and these cops are annoyed by them. Also good that this name stuck to their disneyland and I’ve yet to see it called anything else.
That is why you home brew your own non lethal deterrents and deploy them.
It ain’t cheap, it ain’t easy, but it sure as fuck is fun to watch a crowd disperse.
If that crowd happens to be a bunch of cops using their deterrents in an unconstitutional manner, that just makes it even more enjoyable.
