You want the right to bear arms because you have unreasonable fear of armed burglars.
I want the right to bear arms because evidently the average civilian is better trained and faces more accountability for every firearm discharge than the average cop.

When I first started talking about the abuse my then-roommate did to me, most peoples' reply was basically "Oh no, that's so bad! I believe you because you're privileged enough and middle class enough to fit my stereotype of an innocent victim and you're doing all the emotional labour to talk about it in "the right way". But I can't do anything to actually help you."
Then telling me what a bad idea it would be for me to go to the police. I did it anyways and yeah, it was a really bad idea. I got severely retraumatised and literally lost my mind (while sleeping in a homeless shelter where I had no fucking private place from which to make phone calls to talk to my lawyer about rape. It was so fun.) and the abuser got no consequences whatsoever.
The worst part? EVEN IF ze'd have been convicted, I would have lost my home and not been able to get it back.
I even begged the landlord to do something and lol. hahahhaahhahahahah it was so funny how he sided with the literal rapist who afaik just got the next vulnerable trans person as a roommate lol hahahahah
whoopsie. sorry for spiralling.
I'm safe, don't worry. I got a friend here with me now.

english:
btw, finding ways to deal with repression at marches, blockades and other protests that doesn't rely on IDs is important so that people without papers can also participate. when whole groups are there without ID cards, there's a good chance that everyone gets to go home without having their personal data written up by the #policeproblem.
we do not have to make it easier, in our preemptive obedience, for them to surveil our networks by meekly carrying and showing our ID all the time.
To give them our personal data can be a legitimate decision. but my advice: think about the pros and cons and talk about it in your affinity groups and political networks/bubbles.

Our Tolerance and #democracy is worldwide known.
But -irony off - obviously they didn't dare to hit her, because that kind of pictures would create a too big treat in comparison to non-famous people like the last days.

"DÜRFEN SIE DAS? is an educational campaign for Berlin.
It aims to inform what the police in Berlin are allowed to do in different roles and situations, and how we – people who are not police – can behave when we come into contact with them."
