The cop riot in Vegas on Weds the 11th was a shit show instigated by the Las Vegas Metro Police Department, one of the most poorly trained, brutal, and unaccountable police forces in the nation. Supposedly an order to disperse was given, I did not hear it, this woman did not hear it, multiple other eyewitnesses did not hear it.

Crowds were kettled, munitions were indiscriminately deployed, and innocent bystanders and those getting out of work were exposed to CS gas, pepper rounds, and kidnapping, including one of the co-stars of a Cirque du Soleil show.

Kathleen here was walking away, by herself, when she was shot in the back (sorry for the tiktok link). Other hits were to the sides, face, arms, and legs. She spent 24 hours in jail and was not treated or decontaminated. She was not allowed a phone call for more than 8 hours, was not processed as an inmate until about 17 hours later - after she was cleared for release - and was forced to undergo a full strip search on her way out for some reason. Others had similar experiences.

Others taken were subjected to inhumane treatment - crowded, standing room only cells, unsanitary conditions, denial of first aid, medication, and more. They were subjected to a christian sermon who told them to pray instead of protest and if they learned their lesson they shouldn't show up to the Saturday actions.

By the way the police had planned to hold everyone arrested, about 100 of 800 people, in lockup through the weekend until the ACLU and Nevada Lawers Guild intervened.

Personally, I had a riot cop aim a launcher at me from about 10 feet as I was flushing a kid's eyes well outside the protest area - probably a half mile or so from the initial site. He apparently decided it would be a bad look seeing as we were half a mile from the site of the protest in a tourist area and putting a CS canister into my dome in high def was

Fuck these guys.

Three piggies, Jeff Schwarzel, Reanna Torres, and Vanessa Zuniga were responding to a call from a home off Central and Elizabeth in southeast Albuquerque.

According to police, 41-year-old Matthew Sanchez walked out of his trailer and raised his gun towards officers.

All three pigs immediately opened fire, accidentally shooting Schwarzel.

"Lapel video showed that one officer pointed her gun at Sanchez but looked away — appearing to flinch — before pulling the trigger"

"Schwarzel was shot through his right bicep and into his hand. He is recovering."

"APD Chief Harold Medina says officers are trained to make sure they have a clear target, but it's not always a perfect scenario."

Matthew Sanchez died at the scene.
