Martial Law Declared in Brooklyn

On the heels of three nights of protests over the police slaying of 16 year old Kimani Gray, the NYPD has turned the East Flatbush neighborhood of Brooklyn into a State of Exception, claiming emergency powers to suspend the constitutional guarantees of the citizenry. The people regularly targeted by police harassment and violence, overwhelmingly the city’s poor and minority populations, have taken to the streets to speak out against the NYPD’s draconian tactics. The police have in turn responded with even further harsh measures by suppressing the right of the people to voice dissatisfaction with that very same police force. Cops kettled protesters at Wednesday night’s candlelight vigil, resulting in 46 arrests. Police even arrested Kimani Gray’s distraught sister, Mahnefeh. The NYPD euphemistically calls the public spaces in which the Constitutional rights of the people are suspended “frozen zones.” I don't know who the Zombies are here, maybe both sides are. That's why we must ALWAYS have your AK47 with the rainbow clip by your side. If you are ever in doubt, shoot first and let God sort them out, Amen.
