I know I’m extremely late in proclaiming my solidarity. I thought about putting this online the moment the “I also shouted Push” campaign started but somehow I didn’t get around to actually putting it online. And with today’s news that the 2 Climate activists have been found guilty of inciting violence against the police during the “Reclaim Power” action during last years COP15 held in Copenhagen, it only felt right to post this now.
I was there. During the “Reclaim Power” action. I also shouted PUSH. One of the mere thousands who were trying to push through the police barriers and hold a people’s assembly inside the Bella Center where our supposed leaders were disappointing the world by not coming up with a fair, ambitious and legally binding agreement to tackle Climate Change.
I witnessed firsthand how brutal the Police itself was in treating the protesters. They head butted, kicked and pepper sprayed activists whilst they were protesting in a non-violent manner. I myself got pepper spray in my eyes and multiple kicks in my groin for being in the first line to try to get in the Bella Center. Nicely squished between police and the activist force.
Therefor this sentencing of the Climate activist is too ridiculous for words. Because if there were any that had trouble breathing it were the activists present, not the f*cking cop’ers with their gasmasks.
