If you have been following the U.S news lately you'll have noticed an alarming number of police officers misusing their power and getting off with little to no punishment. The U.S police force is seen by the world as one of the worst and while they aren't out there freely raping men and women activists like the Egyptian police, that does not mean they can just get away with treating us; the public they are supposed to protect, like common criminals.

On Jan 19, Jesse Hagopian, a high school teacher and activist in Seattle was trying to walk around a barricade of bikes set up by the police with other people while he was talking on the phone to his mother, when he was attacked with pepper spray.

This peaceful Martin Luther King march was pepper sprayed for NO reason, other than what ever crazy idea was concocted in this police officer's brain. He was sprayed in the ears, eyes, nose, cheek. His mother who was still on the phone heard him scream out in pain, not knowing that the ones who were supposed to protect her son were currently harming him.

He is currently pursuing action agains t the police department for this injustice, but we all know how this tory usually goes. I know that not all cops are bad/corrupt, yet the ones who are seem to face no judgement and are protected.

Here is a video of the injustice being dealt, notice how none of the cops are stopping her.

Please help Jesse find justice by signing this petition to make the Seattle Police accountable for their actions. https://www.change.org/p/seattle-police-chief-kathleen-o-toole-mayor-ed-murray-hold-seattle-police-accountable-for-attacking-jesse-hagopian?just_created=true
