“We want justice, we want peace! We say NO to the RNC!” - Protesting against the RNC in the anti-capitalist bloc of the big labor day march (over 200 people in the bloc and 10,000 in the march). The march was marred by the structural violence of hundreds of cops intimidating us with their guns, tazers, pepper spray, and plastic handcuffs - trying to cow us into giving up our rights to free movement. Outside of and after the march, groups of brave protesters put their bodies on the line for this freedom and said “fuck it” to the cops’ monopoly on violence by creating barricades on the streets and destroying capitalists’ property. As expected, the cops repressed them brutally with their weapons, and they arrested almost 300 protesters. Many of these riot cops had no identifying marks (names, badge #s, or even department id), so protesters couldn’t hold them legally accountable for their brutality.
