People protest peacefully -> University calls police -> Police use violence -> “The protestors should have complied!” -> Years pass -> University posts apology and expresses how much they’ve changed -> People protest peacefully -> University calls police -> Police use violence…
Just keeps happening, and everyone tricks ourselves into thinking it’s different this time around because reasons.
But I heard that all cops are benevolent!
🤔 Wait no, that’s not right. Anyway I’m sure it’s somehow not their fault. (Edit: nor the school’s fault for calling the fucking cops)
