Hundreds rallied in Dallas Monday night to protest the Trump administration’s ramped-up deportation efforts and to show support for demonstrators in Los Angeles — where four days of protests were met with tear gas, pepper spray and the threat of thousands of National Guard soldiers and 700 Marines.
Dallas police formed a line at the west entrance to the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge and closed it off to traffic for about an hour before opening up the westbound lane. Police declared the protests an unlawful assembly around 10 p.m., and about an hour later, aimed a spray of pepper balls in the direction of protestors, pushing them back.
The crowd dispersed by midnight, and despite some tense moments later in the evening, the demonstration was almost entirely peaceful.
Despite the police “aiming a spray of pepper balls” at the crowd, it was “mostly peaceful”
I’m glad state violence isn’t real or agentic, and just happens as a natural course of the universe.
The beatings will continue, not simply until morale improves, but because they enjoy giving the beatings.
Let’s see if they send National Guard to a red state. Keep going Dallas!
Trump won’t need to send them, Abbott would gladly send the Texas National Guard there himself
i want to see them try to fuck with philly
Stand and be heard in philly.
Or NYC. Or Boston. Or Chicago.
I don’t, this shit is evil and all part of their plan.
Even better, we have the entirely un regulated “state guard” in Texas…
"It was almost entirely peaceful.
We pepper-balled them anyway."
