maybe aestheticizing political movements is in. bad taste.

like i don't know how to explain how weird this is but i Hate it

actually, i do know how to explain it! if you have to turn a political movement that protests against systemic violence and racism into an aesthetic for it to become worthy of your attention, you do not actually care about said movement. people are dying, cops are getting away with murder, the government has so much blood on its hands--protests are not pretty, revolution is not pretty, fighting for your rights and those of others is not pretty. stop trying to change that just because it feels "too harsh" for your aesthetic.

Literally just don't talk to the cops if they arrest you, do not do not do not explain your side of the story, it doesn't matter what you say, you won't be calm, you won't have a clear head, you will fuck up and say something that can incriminate you. You have the right to plead the fifth amendment. even if you are innocent of a crime, because if it's something that could result in your conviction, you have the right to plead the fifth.

So if you're falsely accused, or guilty and you just don't want to go to jail, plead the fifth to the police. You talking means they can extrapolate whatever they want from you and leave out what they don't, and convict you. Any and every lawyer will tell you this. Some ex-cops will even tell you this

It’s worth noting you do have to explicitly invoke your right to remain silent, because the legal system is horrible. If you don’t explicitly invoke your right to remain silent, your silence in response to questions can actually be cited in court of law as evidence of guilt.

You generally shouldn’t talk to cops at all, but you general script here is “Am I under arrest/being detained?”. If they answer yes, you have to say “I’m invoking my right to a publicly provided lawyer, and my right to remain silent.” (something similar to that, but try to keep it relatively formal, cops have argued before that incorrect phrasing means the right didn’t apply. See the “lawyer dog” case). And then you have to remain silent. If you talk at all, you’ve waived your right to remain silent, and you must reinvoke it when you’re done talking for it to apply. Cops are sneaky bastards and will try to get you to talk with friendly conversation or small things, don’t fall for it. If necessary, repeat “I have invoked my right to remain silent”. If you’ve invoked your right against self-incrimination, cops are not legally allowed to use your silence as evidence or suggestion of guilt in a court of law, and your publicly provided lawyer will know this. Also, no matter how under-funded and shit public lawyers can be, you do want yours.

It’s worth noting that the right to remain silent and the fifth are kind of distinct in practice. Your right to remain silent/non-incrimination applies in police custody. As a further note to that, cops will often ask questions to people not in custody specifically so they don’t have to deal with those rights- the correct answer to this is to not talk to cops. Never talk to a cop unless you’re detained, and then only to invoke your right to silence. The Fifth is invoked in court, and is the right to refuse to testify during your own trial. It’s invoked unconditionally- if you refuse to testify against yourself, you can’t testify for yourself. You can’t be a witness at all. If you testify for yourself, the prosecution can ask you whatever they want, and you do have to answer.

TLDR: America’s legal system is full of weird loopholes because cops are tricky bastards that can and will argue any absurd thing if it means they can put more people in prison. Don’t get tripped up by them.

to whom it may concern

tear gas

background

tear gas is not a gas, it’s a kind of powder that clings to ur skin and clothing. it affects ur eyes and ur respiratory system. tear gas cans have different levels of toxicity, and the ones used against civilians are the lowest, but u should never trust a cop with ur safety

countries might have different policies about it, but common (rarely followed) protocols include:

tear gas canister must be shot at the air, not directly at civilians

police must announce they will gas the place before shooting a can

lethality

people with respiratory problems should be thoroughly careful as death may ocur in a matter of hours exposed to it

others with no problems might experience fainting

have in mind the long lasting effects of this chemical weapon have not been registered yet

protection

thick face mask (the type made from a paper-like material) for a short period of exposure or low toxicity

proper gas masks with mixed filter against organic vapours and acid gases + particles

goggles (like ski masks or to go swimming)

if the gas mask doesn’t cover your entire face/doesn’t have a proper grip, u need to wear a bandana or a piece of clothing under it

do NOT use vinegar

do NOT wear makeup, creams or sunscreen as it worsens the effect on ur eyes

treatment & prevention

cheap: mixture of 90% water + 10% baking soda, apply on the nose, rinse ur mouth with it, pour it on the eyes (closed) and wait a little while before blinking repeatedly

effective & cheap: boil a pot of water with laurel leaves (the kind u use to cook) until water turns brown. apply on nose, rinse mouth, pour on closed eyes and blink repeatedly. more effective as preventive measure (soak a piece of clothing and hold it against ur mouth/nose or tie it around ur head)

other: maalox antiacid

u can bite on a lemon for the effects to go away, but it would only last once ur away from the gas

do NOT run or get agitated, walk fast and watch where ur going. be calm, be mindful of others suffering the effects of the gas around u. help each other. contain each other

sneeze, cough, spit and blink as much as necessary until u’ve recovered

aftercare

tear gas clings to ur skin and ur clothes, so try to get the least amount of skin exposed. do NOT touch ur face (eyes, mouth, nose) with ur hands or ur clothes after u’ve been exposed, as the particles of the chemical will once again hurt u

u can wash ur clothes with baking soda, but the chemical might still remain (so dont take that forever 21 dress to a protest)

do NOT shower with hot water, as it re-activates the chemical. u dont have to use ice cold water but regulate the temperature carefully

neutralization

baking soda + water mixture in a big (6lt) reusable water bottle (some people add shampoo). u must wear heavy face protection and wielding gloves to manipulate the tear gas canister, grabbing it quickly from the floor and then cover the bottle as fast as u can once u put the can inside. it takes a few minutes to put off.

important: keep the canister, dont throw it away. when u’ve gotten to safety take a picture of the labels and information on the can, as it details the toxicity and precautions. make sure to check the protocols in ur country and report any misconduct.

not recommended: if u do not have the proper equipment to handle a tear gas canister, throw or kick the can against the police who shot it. watch them suffer. absolutely not recommended i do not support this u should never :-)

pepper spray

background

pepper spray isnt a gas either, the particles get under ur skin and stay there for a very long period of time. it obstructs ur respiratory system and blinds u for hours. if u see a cop walking around with a long canister in their hand, do please please get away and warn others.

lethality

death has been registered on asthmatic people

no long lasting effects as far as i know

protection

there’s nothing that can really prevent the effects of a pepper spray attack. it will cling to whatever u have on though, so the more covered u are the less particles will reach ur skin.

milk: magnesium milk is more recommended (u can buy it in a drugstore) but regular milk might work as well. it can lower the effects of pepper spray but it wont stop it. it relieves the effects after u’ve been attacked, but depending on how exposed u were. it leaves white stains on the skin and clothes.

aftercare

tear gas will worsen the effects, so if ur attacked with pepper spray u must get away immediately

if u are hit directly, in close proximity, u need to be taken to a hospital asap

it will burn ur skin and ur throat, u will feel hell on ur skin, but do not cry. remain calm. u need to know this will be over in a few hours and u will have no long lasting effects

the hospital may release u once u’ve recovered sight, but ur skin (especially ur hands, as u use and move them the most) will still hurt from time to time. sink the affected areas in a mixture of water and dish soap repeatedly and fast for 10-15 seconds

do NOT put any creams or lotions on

throw away the clothes and belongings contaminated with it, but be careful and mindful of the animals and homeless people who search for food in the trash, they dont deserve to suffer the effects of this weapon just because u are lousy

pellet shots

lethality

u will not die of a pellet shot wound, but if it lands on ur eyes u will be permanently blinded as the eye injury is irreversible

at the hospital they might have to give u vaccines

sometimes doctors are unable to remove the bullets and, depending on what it’s made of, u might suffer the effects of contamination

have in mind they can land anywhere, even ur face, and the removal is painful and excruciating

if ur shot in a non threatening part of ur body it will hurt like hELL, but u can still walk around just fine

protection

wearing jeans or windbreaker fabric will lower the speed of the shot, though it will still injure ur skin

anything from tin pieces to wood will stop the bullets. u can make a shield out of stop signs or cable satellites antennas

if u have a shield with u, it is ur responsability to stand in the front and protects other

for the eyes: safety glasses/goggles with ANSI z87.1 or z87+ standard are the easiest and cheapest to get, but military standard MIL-PRF-31013 is more effective. be sure to check the item actually qualifies legally for the standard

extra

water tank: throwing rocks at it only works if the door is open and u can aim at the cops inside. be careful since they might mix water with other chemicals (like caustic soda, which produces burns in the skin and vomit) and are more likely to use disposed water. depending on the type of tank it might actually hit u so hard u fly out of ur shoes, so be careful

laser pointer: u can use them to block cops’ vision, it will save lives

arrest: if u are being arrested and u are alone, or all the people u are with are being taken with u, yell ur full name so the people watching (probably recording) can have proof that u have been detained and ur family and friends can find out

recordings: dont post ur recordings on social media, as it can lead to the arrest of the people in it (or at least blur/cover their faces). it is important to have footage of the events to help the victims injured or abused by cops though

Please be safe today if you're going to the protests! Kick ass too!
