Guy referenced in prior tweet https://twitter.com/jwehrens/status/1267621976379740170
Different angle of 1️⃣3️⃣0️⃣ above

Omaha police instantly tackle a reporter when he announces he's media

(Media are excluded from the Omaha curfew)

1️⃣3️⃣3️⃣ Los Angeles, CA: black store owners call the police to get help with looters

So the police arrest the black store owners who asked for help

(The police do not exist to serve and protect you. They exist to maintain our caste system.)
1️⃣3️⃣4️⃣ Washington, DC: borrowing a page from the best authoritarian regimes across the globe – didn't Hosni Mubarak do this in Egypt a few years ago? – the military hovers a helicopter low over a crowd of peaceful protestors as a "show of strength"
1️⃣3️⃣5️⃣ Sacramento, CA: police open fire on a peaceful crowd – *before* issuing a dispersal order (you'll hear that near the end) – and one of the first things they do is shoot a non-protesting legal observer (and US Navy veteran) in the face

1️⃣3️⃣9️⃣ Elizabethtown, NC: not a video, but the curfew proclamation for a town in rural North Carolina

Notice the first clause of Section III, outlawing alcohol possession in your home

Just a couple weeks ago, alcohol sales were an "essential service" during COVID lockdowns
(The order is unconstitutional, as many of these will turn out to be. Just sharing because Government overreach seems to be the order of the day, but for some reason it's fine now.)
1️⃣4️⃣0️⃣ Seattle, WA: overhead view of Seattle PD pepper-spraying protestors, then indiscriminately firing flash bang grenades deep into the crowd
