18 year old Tania Harris was shot twice by police in Robbinsdale, MN yesterday. Police were called to the scene to protect her from a potential fight and are claiming she had a knife but her mother and witnesses are saying that her mother had taken the knife from her before police shot her.
Tania was cuffed and put in the back of the squad car after being shot.
She survived the shooting and is in stable condition.
The local activists are already planning actions around supporting her.
This is painful. I have no words..

2024 IS NOT FOR "PLAY PLAY" .
Noela Rukundo was marked for death even more than the average Australian. As she was visiting family in Burundi, Africa, she found out that her husband back in Australia had hired some local men to “take care of her.” Fortunately for Noela, it turned out to be the most inspiring case of attempted murder we’ve ever come across.
The hitmen kidnapped Noela and took her to a safe, quiet location … so they could get to know her better. Amazingly, that isn’t a euphemism. These were either the softest hitmen in history or Noela was one hell of a gal, because after two days of captivity (to make her seem suitably disappeared) and a stern lecture about her choice in men, Noela was released. The hitmen did give her an 80-hour time limit to leave the country, but it was for her safety – the gang suspected that Noela’s husband might have hired other assassins, and they might not be as gentle.
Yo can we make this go viral ?
