#ricky resign

July 2019 - During protests against Puerto Rico’s governor a protester takes it upon herself to protect the line of riot cops and admonish her fellow protesters for throwing plastic bottles. As she is doing this a riot cop shoots her in the back with a rubber bullet, and she is shot again when she complains about it to the cops. The lesson: Don’t police your fellow protesters and don’t protect cops. [video]

I was in the middle of drawing this last night when I got the news that Ricardo Roselló resigned from his place as governor of Puerto Rico. After almost two full weeks of protest from the people on the island, backed by protests from literally all over the world, this is a huge victory for us.

There’s still a lot of work to do, but it’s a step in the right direction, and it shows us that we can enact change.
