Streikende Bullen zur Durchsetzung von #Polizeigewalt #Frankreich

"Hedi spricht ruhig in die Kamera. Der Kopf des 21-Jährigen, dessen Familie aus dem Maghreb stammt, ist deformiert. Links fehlt ein Teil des Schädelknochens. Hedi, der bis zu seinen Verletzungen in der Gastronomie arbeitete, erzählt dem Team der Medienplattform Konbini von der Nacht auf den 2. Juli, die sein Leben brutal verändert hat.
Er und seine Freunde seien an dem Abend in Marseille - einem Hotspot der Unruhen nach dem Tod des 17-jährigen Nahel M. bei einer Verkehrskontrolle in der Nähe von Paris - der Spezialeinheit BAC über den Weg gelaufen. Es habe einen Wortwechsel gegeben.
Als Hedi sich wegdreht, spürt er einen heftigen Schlag am Kopf. Wie sich später herausstellen wird, hatte ihn ein Gummigeschoss aus einer Polizeiwaffe getroffen. Anschließend hätten die Polizisten ihn in eine dunkle Ecke geschleift, berichtet der junge Mann: "

The roots of the French riots

"The comparisons between the revolts which have shaken #France since the police murder of a 17-year-old last Tuesday and those which shook France in 2005 are unavoidable. In 2005 two teenagers, Zyed and Bouna, were chased into an electricity bunker in the eastern suburbs of #Paris where were both electrocuted to death. Three weeks of rioting followed in France, the youth angry about the police state, angry about racism, angry about the relegation of the cities. Eighteen years later, even if the media, society and political culture have evolved, not much seemed to have changed in the relationship between young people of colour and the police. On Monday of this week, with fires still smouldering in cities across the country, a news announcer calmly announced that “this three-day period of rioting” had done more damage than the rioters were able to do in three whole weeks 2005. There is something sly and mediatic in this turn of phrase – as if the state has decided – “here, you’ve had your fun for three days, there will not be a fourth”.

Three Nights of Riots in France After Police Kill Youth

France has seen a wave of massive protests following the death of a teen at the hands of police.

On Thursday, air traffic controllers at Paris’ Beauvais Airport saw a complete shutdown of flights as travelers flock to the top tourism destination.

In Nanterre, the working-class town on the western outskirts of Paris where 17-year-old Nahel M. was shot dead on Tuesday, protesters torched cars, barricaded streets and hurled projectiles at police following a vigil.

Protesters scrawled “Vengeance for Nahel” across buildings and as night set a bank was lit on fire.

In central Paris, a Nike shoe store was broken into after store windows were smashed along the rue de Rivoli shopping street, Paris police said.

Fires and fireworks erupted in Marseille, Lyon, Pau, Toulouse and Lille.

Videos on social media showed numerous fires across the country, including at a bus depot in a suburb north of Paris and a tram in the eastern city of Lyon.

In Marseille, France’s second city, police fired tear gas grenades during clashes with youths in the tourist hot-spot of Le Vieux Port.

The incident is one of many examples of the racism enforced by the police and their subjugation of low-income, racially mixed suburbs around major cities in France.

This piece is a piece that means a lot to me as it represents a lot. It symbolizes the simple message of ” keep doing what you love”. No matter how many hardships and obstacles you encounter along the way you need to just push them aside and do what makes you happy.

This is one of the first pieces I ever made and still one of my favorites. This image works as a piece of advice for everyone we all need to work to do what we truly love. Once we have achieved that, we haven’t really worked a day in our lives! – HIJACK

Who knew the unintended consequence of quarantine would be a good thing for nature. Let’s Make Earth Green Again by staying indoors and not f$&*#!% stuff up. – HIJACK

Pardon my appearance but I’m doing it for you❤️😷 – HIJACK

This represents the constant growing conflict and separation of today’s society politically.
It serves as a metaphor that as people we should understand the fact that everyone will have a different opinion than our own and it would be beneficial for us to try to understand the opposing side and use it as a source for growth and knowledge rather than a source for criticism and judgment. – HIJACK

⚠️keep your humans on a leash at all times please⚠️ – HIJACK

Sometimes progress takes us in full circle. Right back to a time when pictures made more sense. Lets not forget who started it all. – HIJACK

The environment kids are raised in matters. Unfortunately, even before one can grow up to think for themselves, they are taught to believe war is the only answer. – HIJACK

“You say you love your children above all else, and yet you are stealing their future in front of their very eyes” – Greta Thunberg – HIJACK

We live in such a toxic environment that there may come a day when natural beauty becomes a rarity. – HIJACK

Don’t expect a better day, imagine and then create one. – HIJACK

Nothing is forbidden until you ask for permission. – HIJACK

Street workers: rarely appreciated yet always there to help. – HIJACK

Don’t throttle my internet. #netneutrality – HIJACK

Creativity is cooking. – HIJACK

Keep your “change”, I need money. – HIJACK

Ice doesn’t have an agenda, it just melts. Let’s raise our climate change awareness and not the sea level. – HIJACK

You never know what’s behind the mask. – HIJACK

True love lies… In our differences… – HIJACK

HIJACK: Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey on Wednesday signed into law a controversial abortion bill that could punish doctors who perform abortions with life in prison. Alabama will become the state with the country’s most restrictive abortion law and the law will immediately become fodder for the swirling debate over if (and when) the Supreme Court might consider overturning the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling. “When women are in control of their sexuality, it threatens a core element underpinning right-wing ideology: patriarchy,” .”It’s a brutal form of oppression to seize control of the 1 essential thing a person should command: their own body.” Alexandria Ocasio-Cortes

“Some people are so poor all they have is money” – HIJACK

They are not less than you, they only have less than you. Turning a blind eye to 58k homeless people in our city isn’t a real solution yet we pretend it is. – HIJACK

Two momentous events in the history of humanity. First, man invents the wheel. Then, he improves upon the wheel by adding a sugary glaze… – HIJACK

There are approximately 18.6 million vacant homes in America and 3.1 million homeless people. – HIJACK

The carrot-and-stick approach seems to be an effective approach to keeping our workhorse running. The problem? It’s a carrot on a stick!!! – HIJACK

”Canary In A Coal mine” Giving the coal industry the bird. – HIJACK

In a time when the public discourse is tainted with an anti-immigrant sentiment. We need to remind ourselves of what we are composed of as a city and more broadly as a nation. – HIJACK

“Urine trouble” – HIJACK

The human impact on our oceans have caused ecosystems to change drastically and rapidly leading to the extinction of many species. Let’s give nature a chance to recover by reducing our carbon footprint and pollution. #worldoceansday – HIJACK

As the anti-trust groundwork is laid down and investigations loom in the near future against many big businesses. It feels as if the only responsibility big companies have is to maximize profits at no matter what societal cost. – HIJACK

“The Transhumanist” – People have taken it upon themselves to hack their bodies as a way to harness the power of technology. The current body modifications may still be at there infancy and appear a little clunky but I look forward to the day of being able to put someone on vibrate. – HIJACK

It’s lonely at the top, but man the view is nice and the milk is great. – HIJACK

The mice better pray to cheesus because this is gonna be a cat-astrophe. – HIJACK

One powerful image that often appears in climate change-themed street art is the depiction of melting ice caps and glaciers. These striking visuals serve as a stark reminder of the rapid and devastating impact of global warming on our planet’s delicate ecosystems.

The ice sculptures, handcrafted by Brazilian artist Nele Azevedo, were set up in a public area by WWF Germany to show the direct effect of climate change in the Arctic on the whole planet and the future of humanity and nature:

By Dr Love at Upfest – In Bristol, EnglandMartín Ron: The causes? Many: Extreme climate change, drought, deforestation, reduction of wetlands and a lot of disinterest in asking ourselves questions. The consequences? Too many. This mural is part of a new series of murals in which I am working where the protagonist is the reflection. And how opportune to get involved to invite you to reflect on what happens when a river runs out of water.

By Leon Keer: Nice 3D effect and interesting motifs on the cups if you look closer. Green – oil rigs and a polluted beach. Pink – a stranded broken abandoned boat. Brown – a dead moose. Blue – a far from equal meeting between settlers and Indians.

9. Climate Activism: The Power of Collective Action
