Unmasked Fury

Masks may not protect us from bubonic—sorry, coronavirus, but they will prevent cops from beating a woman half their size to the floor at Wal-Mart. 

A police officer in Alabama body-slammed a woman inside a Walmart store after she allegedly refused to wear a face mask. …

Cell phone footage of the incident shows an officer attempting to restrain the woman while her friend yells in outrage. 

Suddenly, the officer places a hand around her left leg, lifts her up and unceremoniously slams her onto the ground.

The woman’s face collides with the tile floor, prompting witnesses to gasp in shock. 

Thanks, Rulers! You’ve saved us from COVID19 so we can die of concussion at the hands of your enforcers.

What are cops doing in Walmart anyway? Shame on this emporium, mistaking customers for prisoners. As for the cop himself, he was being a cop. This is what they do—routinely, enthusiastically, brutally.

If we don’t want them savaging us, we’ll get rid of them and their infernal departments. (I should probably thank Bill Martin for sending me this story; on the other hand, I’ll get no sleep tonight as visions of this poor woman’s abuse crowd my head…)
