Eris Parade Video

Please take a couple of minutes and watch this video of the NOPD at the Eris Parade. Also, watch the squares that appear on the screen during pauses, and roll your mouse over them. Descriptions of what's happening, like "Macing Photographer" will appear in those squares.

Please also note that the photographer getting maced is well off the sidewalk, behind a car, and not a threat to anyone. The cop simply doesn't want him to film this violent exchange, although its well within his right to do so.
Then there is the young man the cops hold & mace, before releasing him. He has posed no threat nor is he being arrested. They just maced him.


If that's not enough, watch as several NOPD officers spray clouds of mace towards a group of young women, who are doing nothing wrong, whatsoever.

Finally, the bully of all bullies, an NOPD officer walks down the street threatening to mace any & all who look at him, a clear violation of the human & civil rights of every person there.


NONE OF THESE NOPD OFFICERS HAS BEEN CHARGED.  IS THE USE OF CHEMICAL MACE, WITHOUT RESTRAINT, ON MEN, WOMEN & CHILDREN, AN ACCEPTABLE FORM OF LAW ENFORCEMENT UNDER THE NEW FASCIST RULES OF AMERICA?


Why are the Eris 12 getting jail time, when there is evidence to prove their innocence, as these cops walk away from brutality charges, backed up by video?

Why is nothing being done about it?
Why aren't we bringing this to the attention of the press?

Spread the word.
Free the Eris 12.
Hold NOPD accountable.
