How to Film a Revolution

 
Corey Ogilvie has produced another highly informative film, this time providing guidance to citizen journalists on how to best film a revolution.

Along with other hints, he provides five guidelines for best filming violent encounters with the police.

#1) Call out for cameras. The more cameras that are filming the better the chances are that the event will be captured on film.
 
#2) Do not film vertically. This means do not tilt your camera sideways, as it makes editing the video a pain and provides less detail.
 
#3) Keep your distance. Stay close enough to film the action, but far enough away that you stay safe and available to film.
 
#4) Protect yourself. Keep an eye out for tear gas, rubber bullets, and other weaponry used by the police.
 
#5) Defend your rights. As a citizen journalist, you have the constitutional right to film. Know the law as best you can.

Vanessa Guillen: MST Martyr?

Vanessa Guillen was bludgeoned with a hammer, on base, in the armory, her remains were removed in a box.

They both worked in the armory but in the army that small rank difference means a lot, and many, (if not most) exploit that.

Prison Abolition in the Age of Coronavirus

In the Prison Abolition Movement, it is a well-known fact that Police have a shared history with Slave Catching. There was a need to capture runaway slaves in metropolitan areas before that there was no need for police. Most of the lynchings of Jim Crow South were well attended and represented by police and how enforcement is distributed today is reflection of that history. Too many police and prison guards are former military to ignore the link to the prison industrial complex.
