Three police officers went to an *elementary* school in Tennessee & arrested four Black girls.
One girl fell to her knees. Another threw up. Police handcuffed the youngest, an 8 yo with pigtails.
Their supposed crime? Watching some boys fight — and not stopping them. (THREAD)

Do you know what day tomorrow is? Dec 9, “The International Day of Commemoration and Dignity of the Victims of the Crime of Genocide and of the Prevention of this Crime.”
Right now there is a genocide happening in Palestine and none of our leaders who claim to respect democracy and human rights are doing a damn thing to prevent it. Shame and disgust. – at Ottawa, Ontario
