Eyes please upon tonight's Kimani Gray vigil.

[Fire Walk With Me]

A young man gunned down by NYPD undercovers whom witnesses say did not identify until the boy was fleeing...riot cop response to the last few nights of vigils, with arrests designed to troll for outraged response (riot cops need a riot)...apparently there will be another vigil tonight. NYPD have declared Flatbush to be a "frozen zone" into which no journalist may enter, so you know NYPD are at their worst behavior.

One possible livestream, more to be added as applicable:

1. Martial law

http://uscop.org/the-nypd-declares-martial-law-in-brooklyn/

On the heels of three nights of protests over the police slaying of 16 year old Kimani Gray, the NYPD has turned the East Flatbush neighborhood of Brooklyn into a State of Exception, claiming emergency powers to suspend the constitutional guarantees of the citizenry. . . .

Cops kettled protesters at Wednesday night’s candlelight vigil, resulting in 46 arrests. Police even arrested Kimani Gray’s distraught sister, Mahnefeh.

The NYPD euphemistically calls the public spaces in which the Constitutional rights of the people are suspended “frozen zones.” . . .

According to FIERCE, the “frozen zone” in East Flatbush is being used to prevent media from covering the protests and arrests. Meanwhile, people inside the “frozen zone” can be subjected to arrest merely by exercising their constitutional rights.

2. Thank you, yes. Cops kill a kid, then declare martial law when people righteously protest it.

Which is perfect "cop" mentality. Keep hitting the problem until it does what you want it to. And of course, exactly the wrong thing to do.

The 'Hood is a sleeping giant. Cops are seemingly desperate to awaken it.
