Yes. Will Stancil is one of many, many citizens standing up, observing, documenting, witnessing the atrocities & horrors committed by ICE & Border Control in the streets of Minneapolis. Brave, courageous, righteous American Citizens, standing up for their rights, their community, their city, their state, their country. Armed with Empathy & Courage. Outfitted with outdoor gear to survive sub-zero temps. Smart-phones at the ready, making sure all of us can see & witness for ourselves, the cold truth. Yes, in this case, and in many, many others too, the smartphone, set to record, is a definitve act of defiance, a weapon of truth. The lies told about these murders in the street, were easily & quickly disproven by countlesss videos from many angles. The lies were immediately exposed, and evaporated, in the face of the simple act of documenting the moment to moment, bearing witness, by common folks who really, really cared. Aware, Alive, Awake. Woke to the max. Courage & Empathy on record mode.
What a brilliant, shining example of People Power. Democracy in action, in the streets, folks coming to each other's aid, braving the elements, and the hostile forces of evil, that have been unleashed by this lawless, lying administration. Here is where hope, optimism, a better day, and a better way resides. In the hearts and minds of those willing to stand up and say, "No," to tyranny, murder, lying, brutality, inhumanity. Stronger together. Eyes wide open to the horrors of oppression. We stand with Minneapolis, scarred forever with the searing tragedy of the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti burned deeply into our brains.
