2020 Protesters

This archive exists to accumulate and contextualize evidence of excessive force by police during the 2020 George Floyd protests.

Our goal in doing this is to assist journalists, politicians, prosecutors, activists and concerned citizens who can use the evidence accumulated here for political campaigns, news reporting, public education and prosecution of criminal police officers.

how many DC Metro cops does it take to arrest one woman for handing out water? I count 3-4, plus a dozen or so staging around them to limit photography. Lots to be safely defunded in DC… This morning, 29 June 2020. [@FordFischer]

the Maine police commissioner admits that his “fusion center” unit is spying on protest organizers and compiling dossiers on citizens who have done nothing illegal. Link to story: https://www.pressherald.com/2020/06/24/maine-police-unit-gathers-information-on-citizens-commissioner-says/

multi-parter on this one. First, @andykoppsd notes an excessive police response to a homeless man. (Me, I noticed that they’ve removed the license plates from SDPD vehicles. Harder to identify responding officers that way.) 1/

back on June 5th – after Virginia had already made several appearances in the PBMT for brutalizing protestors – the Virginia State Police blew another $50K in taxpayer money on more chemical weapons and munitions. Outrageous.
