The NYPD lies again
The police attacked people seeking asylum then lied about it
Hii, I’m getting used to the idea that I have at least four large tumors inside my body. Today I’m sharing my feelings about the NYPD attacking immigrants then lying about it. Onto the news…
News that made me say we live in a reality show called the real terrorists of Earth
At the end of January the NYPD released short footage of people seeking asylum, preventing the NYPD in Times Square from arresting one of their comrades. I couldn’t have thought of a better way to celebrate the beginning of Black History Month. However, the NYPD, the media, and politicians didn’t agree with me because they believe using physical violence is something only the police are allowed to do.
The powerful institutions that maintain this police state were angry about these “non-Americans” “attacking” the police. The governor of New York state said they should be sent back. I guess it’s okay for a governor to be a racist and tell people to go back to their country. I was told to go back to my country multiple times when I was in middle school and high school. Looks like the governor of New York has never grown out of being a middle school bully.
The NYPD has also never grown out of being middle school bullies. After all the vitriol and hate about the migrants attacking them brought all the racists to the yard, the full video of the “attack” was released revealing the migrants were actually defending themselves against NYPD harassment. It’s much like how so-called Israel likes to pretend like nothing happened before October 7th. Looks like the IDF trained the NYPD well.
The NYPD edited out the beginning of the altercation where the NYPD was harassing the people on the sidewalk. The police slammed Yohenry Brito on the wall for doing nothing, then attempted to arrest him. His friends were doing the right thing. Friends don’t let their friends get assaulted then kidnapped. These men should have been immediately given their citizenship because there’s nothing more American than defending yourself from an oppressor. Isn’t that the myth of the American Revolution?
The American Revolution like everything else about the so-called United States of America is a myth. Which is why these men were arrested. This country doesn’t stand for freedom, it enforces oppression. What else do you expect from a country started by rich white enslavers? No enslaver has ever stood for freedom. That would be like a basketball player hating balls. You have to love oppression if you are an enslaver. Which is why the oppressed don’t have a right to defend themselves in the United States of America or anywhere in this oppressor-run world. The oppressors wrote all the rules.
The immigrants not being allowed to defend themselves against the NYPD means the Palestinians are not allowed to defend themselves against an occupying genocidal force. The NY Post even went as far as labeling the immigrants in Times Square “asylum-seeking-thugs” for fighting for their rights. The Palestinians are also labeled as terrorists for fighting for their lives.
There will be no freedom for anyone if the real terrorists keep making the rules. We currently live in a terrible reality show called The Real Terrorists of Earth. Like every reality show, The Real Terrorists of Earth is bad for everyone involved except for the people who make money from it. So can we please all come together and cancel it?
That’s it for the news, but don’t go yet
Yesterday on TikTok I posted my thoughts on President’s Day. TikTok didn’t like the video and told me it violated TikTok rules. Which means you’ll love it.

Please keep going to protests for Palestine. Please keep talking about Congo, Sudan, and colonialism.
We have everything we need to free each other. Keep fighting for a better world. We can do it.
