Regrann from @neeshellmybell - Regranned from @kishlb - When the women take hold of a great and crying evil, you may expect revolution — not necessarily a revolution of blood and destruction, yet not necessarily one of peace.” - #LucyParsons #Revolutionary, #radical, #anarchist---these titles barely scratch the surface in capturing the identities Lucy Parsons took on during her life. According to local Chicago #authorities, Parsons was more dangerous than a thousand rioters, and they were right. Parsons’ power was in her pen. Her writings terrified the government so much that the FBI forbid her from speaking in public. Can you imagine? On the same day she died in 1942, the government raided her home and stole 40 years worth of journal entries and books detailing her beliefs on #socialism and #anarchy...left never to be found again. During her early 20s, Parsons fled #Texas with her husband for fear of retribution for their political involvement. Texas officials shot her husband in the leg and threatened to #lynch him for trying to register #Blackvoters. So, they set out for #Chicago. Parsons’ sole mission was to fight for the #poor and #disenfranchised in the face of an #oppressive #american government. Her disdain for the wealthy is clear when she writes, “Let every dirty, lousy #tramp arm himself with a revolver or knife and lay in wait on the steps of the palaces of the rich and stab or shoot their owners as they come out. Let us kill them without mercy, and let it be a war of #extermination and without pity.” The #Chicagopolice arrested her numerous times for the alleged “#crime” of disseminating revolutionary-based pamphlets on the streets. She despised #capitalism and argued that #Blackpeople were oppressed because they were poor, not because they were #Black. She also believed violent and direct actions were the only way to change the capitalist system and ensure workers’ demands were met, which is why the #government tried to silence her. Parsons’ affiliations with the #SocialistParty, #CommunistParty, and dozens of radical newspapers made her a prime target for the #FBI. - #regrann

"SHUT UP #Slave At A #Chicago #Starbucks" #24YrOld #WilliamBoucher caught on Camera launching into a #Violent, #RacistRant, calling a #BlackMan a '#Slave' and comparing him to '#Livestock' suggesting that he should be #Tagged with a #BarCode with his #SocialSecurityNumber after the man apparently spilled some #Coffee on #Boucher’s light-colored suit. “SHUT UP, SLAVE!” Boucher screamed. “DO NOT TALK TO ME!” “Your #CHILDREN are DISPOSABLE #VERMIN!” Boucher continued to yell at a second man who was also videotaping him, before SPITTING in the direction of a 30-year-old man as well as a 34-year-old woman, according to #ChicagoPolice. The man Boucher attempted to SPIT on, identified as #GeraldMitchell, must have #BlackedOut when that happened because he was not about to have it, and rushed up to #Boucher before being held back (sadly) by another bystander. “GET ON ALL FOURS RIGHT NOW!” #Boucher screamed. “GET ON ALL FOURS! DO NOT WALK OFF ON TWO LEGS! YOU DON'T’t DESERVE TO WALK ON TWO LEGS, VERMIN.” The altercation eventually ended after Boucher was seen punching an older man who was walking in his direction to the ground, prompting bystanders to take him down until police arrived. The man Boucher struck had to be taken to the hospital for an eye injury. In #August the #Judge looking at the case and must have realized that there was no #Justice here and issued a no-bond #ArrestWarrant for #Four new #FELONYHATECrimeCharges, and also upgraded the misdemeanor battery charges to felony aggravated battery charges, the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office confirmed,according to the Washington Post.bond set at $50,000. If convicted, he will face probation or a maximum of five years in prison for each of the four aggravated battery charges that he is now facing. If convicted of the hate crime charges, he faces one to three years in prison per charge. #4evahaka #4evahaka2 Via: #TheRoot

Chicago Police Officers Won’t Be Sent Home Over Vaccine Status — Yet - REAL NEWS TODAY

FILE - In this Aug. 10, 2021, file picture, Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 7 President John Catanza

Cops in Chicago won’t be ordered to go home in the event that they defy the city’s requirement that they report their COVID-19 vaccination status or be placed on unpaid leave, police leaders and Chicago’s mayor stated Thursday.

“No one is going to be turned away,” stated police department spokesman Tom Ahern. “Officers shall be working their regular shifts this weekend (and) they wont be turned away or sent home… Officers will continue coming to work till they’re instructed otherwise (and) that they’re not on pay status.”

Ahern’s comments follow a video posted on the police officers’ union website this week wherein the union president urged members to not report their vaccination status by Friday, the deadline that Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s administration set for city employees, and urged such a refusal may end in them being sent home.

Those that don’t submit their vaccination standing will likely be placed on unpaid leave.

Lightfoot mentioned officers who’re expected to work over the weekend should show up, and that those that don’t report their vaccination status will likely be moved to no-pay status. However she additionally mentioned that such a move won’t occur this weekend because confirming compliance will take a couple of days.

“My expectation is that individuals who swore an oath to serve and protect the city are going to honor that oath and they’re going to show up, they’re going to report for duty, and they’re going to comply with a legal directive from the city and an order from the police department,” Lightfoot informed reporters Thursday. “Anything less would be insubordination.”

The dispute and the possibility that the department could be understaffed come at a fraught time for the city, which has seen a surge in the number of carjackings and expressway shootings and more homicides so far this year than have been recorded at the same time last year.

First responders nationwide have been hit hard by the virus however some have been resisting vaccine mandates. More than 460 law enforcement officers have died of COVID-19, including 4 members of the Chicago Police Department, according to the Officer Down Memorial Page.

Los Angeles police and county sheriff, and Seattle and Denver police are among the departments either under vaccine mandates or facing one.

On Thursday afternoon, top police officials in Chicago assured the general public that the department would be fully staffed over the weekend. However in addition they made it clear that officers who refuse to comply with the city’s mandate risk being disciplined or fired.

First Deputy Police Superintendent Eric Carter stated officers will likely be expected to meet Friday’s deadline unless they have an approved medical or religious exemption. Under the city’s rules, those that aren’t vaccinated by Friday must get tested twice per week on their own time and expense till the end of the year, when they are going to be required to be vaccinated.

In the video that Fraternal Order of Police President John Catanzara posted Tuesday, he stated that if officers had been turned away, the city would have a police force “at 50% or less for this weekend coming up.”

He additionally instructed officers to file for exemptions to receiving vaccines but to not enter that info into the city’s portal, telling the rank-and-file, “I don’t believe the city has the authority to mandate that to anyone, not to mention that information about your medical history.” He didn’t reply to a request for remark Thursday.

City officials have stated there isn’t a requirement to enter detailed medical info — only vaccination status and proof of vaccination.

The city has a similar COVID-19 vaccine requirement for employees of city schools, which the Chicago Teachers Union supported.

A city database showed almost 90% of teachers, administrators and other school employees have already been vaccinated. Fewer than 1% acquired a medical exemption and 3.5% had a religious exemption.

City officials stated those that didn’t comply by the Friday vaccination deadline wouldn’t be barred from work, however must undergo weekly testing till they received the shots. Those that don’t get vaccinated or consent to weekly testing would be ineligible to work for the nation’s third-largest school district and won’t be paid.
