#HandsUpFriday sad, profound sign of a new generation - thrust upon us http://twitpic.com/ealovh

1. K&R....

[madamesilverspurs]

2. Indeed.

8. Impressive!

7. That New Yorker cover, tho

All beautiful. Well done!

9. .

[tblue37]

10. KnR for another fantastic post, bigtree!

I believe the viral "hands up don't shoot" meme is so powerful that it might actually help keep attention focused long enough to bring some movent on the issues of police brutality and, especially, of the incessant and often brutal and even murderous harassment of black citizens in this country.

Obviously the Missouri cops are baffled. All the things they've gotten away with forever suddenly aren't working, but they don't have a Plan B because they can't even imagine acting any other way.

[bigtree]

13. it is as profound as it is disturbing, tblue37

. . . an expression of protest that was thrust upon this new generation, and will persist, I'm afraid, for generations more.

[etherealtruth]

11. k and R

[bigtree]

16. thanks for the k&r, etherealtruth

[Brigid]

12. Hi, bigtree!

Love that "New Yorker" cover!

[bigtree]

15. Artist Eric Drooker revealed his motivation for his image, Brigid

Artist Eric Drooker told The New Yorker that the cover has a personal meaning for him.

“The police shooting of Michael Brown resonates on a personal level with me,” Eric Drooker says about next week’s cover, which was inspired by images from the scene. “An artist friend of mine was killed by a cop in lower Manhattan, back in 1991. He happened to be black, and the police officer was never indicted.” Drooker continues, “As a resident of Manhattan’s Lower East Side, I witnessed the blurring distinctions between the police and military during the Tompkins Square riots of the eighties. I’ll never forget the day the N.Y.P.D. showed up in a military tank to evict nonviolent squatter friends from buildings on Avenue B and Thirteenth Street, where I grew up. This incident triggered a vivid childhood memory of the police driving a similar armored tank on East Fourteenth street, in 1968, to quell possible ‘disturbances’ after Martin Luther King was assassinated."

“Of course, rubber bullets, tear gas, and Tasers have been used for a while—on nonviolent anti-war protests at the dawn of the Iraq invasion, not to mention Occupy—but the U.S. media has often chosen to ignore these images. Now that billions have been spent and the equipment is in place throughout the country, the intensive militarization of America’s police forces is finally being acknowledged after the horrors of Ferguson.”

. . . indeed.

[Uncle Joe]

14. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, bigtree.

[MrMickeysMom]

17. Thank you, bigtree

21. Late-night kick from me. Now if only we could get one of the

resident Photo-Shop experts to do a Jesus with His hands up (and other spiritual figures from history), that would be truly awesome.! I don't have Photo-Shop and so cannot do this.

[etherealtruth]

22. I have no talent but your idea is great!!!

23. Big K&R

How did I miss this? Beautiful and heartbreaking.
