I’m a shitty protester because it’s mostly standing around and I get bored, but seriously, fuck the police.
Also, 3rd degree depraved indifference is the right charge based on the video. Maybe they can develop evidence for more, but going away for 25 years is also a good start.

This is scary but possibly right if you read the complaint. This city will really burn then. According to Unicorn Riot twitter, protests are moving toward the 5th Precinct despite the curfew. That is ten blocks from my house, but all quiet here right now. I’m on the board of a domestic violence prevention organization that is directly across the street from the 5th. I biked by today and they had signs up in the shelter windows: “Women and Children Live Here.” “This is a home.” I felt sick until I learned they were evacuated to another location this evening.
