WEBVTT - Uprising: A Guide From Portland Trailer

0:00:02.759 --> 0:00:12.520
<v Speaker 1>This feels like the energy for this rebellion is coming

0:00:12.560 --> 0:00:17.239
<v Speaker 1>from some some unknown place, like like two I said,

0:00:17.280 --> 0:00:22.040
<v Speaker 1>It's felt almost supernatural because it was pushing people on

0:00:22.239 --> 0:00:29.360
<v Speaker 1>their human limen. We're in the streets because of Black

0:00:29.400 --> 0:00:34.879
<v Speaker 1>Lives Matter, because the police killed Brianna Taylor and George Floyd,

0:00:35.000 --> 0:00:36.720
<v Speaker 1>and they covered up the killing of a mad are

0:00:36.800 --> 0:00:43.560
<v Speaker 1>very George Floyd was killed by Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin,

0:00:43.800 --> 0:00:48.240
<v Speaker 1>sparking an unprecedented series of nationwide protests against police brutality.

0:00:48.560 --> 0:00:51.200
<v Speaker 1>At first, the protests in Portland were like the protests

0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:54.680
<v Speaker 1>everywhere else. But then they just kept going and going.

0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:57.880
<v Speaker 1>For more than a hundred consecutive nights of tear gas,

0:00:58.080 --> 0:01:02.080
<v Speaker 1>rubber bullets, and beatings. Militarized federal police came in with

0:01:02.120 --> 0:01:06.200
<v Speaker 1>experimental chemical weapons right when vigilante started showing up, shooting

0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:14.320
<v Speaker 1>into crowds and throwing homemade explosives at activists. Through all this,

0:01:14.760 --> 0:01:18.360
<v Speaker 1>Portland's Black Lives Matter movement persevered, and their successes and

0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:22.280
<v Speaker 1>mistakes and their agonies and survival, the activists sup Portland

0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:24.520
<v Speaker 1>are a lesson for the rest of the nation. Now

0:01:24.560 --> 0:01:26.760
<v Speaker 1>you can hear the real story in the words of

0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:33.839
<v Speaker 1>the people who were there. You know, they're they're pushing,

0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:36.679
<v Speaker 1>they're shoving. I'm I'm yelling and screaming the whole time,

0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:39.559
<v Speaker 1>like waving my press badge on my cane around saying

0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:44.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm blind. So we were following the groans of people,

0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:47.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, coughing and and being things with tear gas,

0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:49.480
<v Speaker 1>and the cops just rolled up with like four cars

0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:53.560
<v Speaker 1>and eight officers hopped out and I got snatched up

0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:56.720
<v Speaker 1>and it's got snatched up by I got grabbed by

0:01:56.760 --> 0:02:01.600
<v Speaker 1>the hair, got young to the ground. A failure to

0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:06.280
<v Speaker 1>follow this direction be such a mutual arrest or use

0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:12.120
<v Speaker 1>of borce, including crowd controlled usial crooked. Listen to Uprising
