Unless you're prepared for that.

Dear catnhatnh: Could you please spare the community the trauma of looking at this image:

By posting a little context, please?

Some text, please, or a link to an article that isn't a Facebook page?

I know it's about this: "This is what is happening in turkey Istanbul for protesting government. — "

But unless your only purpose is to shock the consciousness of viewers, then you need to add some actual information.

TIA.

Last time I made an OP about Occupy more than one DUer suggested that that was the motivation for many in the US to engage in Occupy protests. And this was in a thread with a photo of a gang of cops grinding my son's face into the pavement for filming an arrest. Today I put graphic warning on one of my posts for the first time. There will be others while the police violence toward peaceful protesters continues. Go watch the videos and see that the multiple headshots are intentional and meant to kill or maim. Watch the one where they run over protesters with a water tanker truck.

I'm sorry for shocking any DUer. No equivocation there. I felt the post was necessary. MSM is showing nothing as our "NATO ally" goes killer on it's citizens.

I didn't want to look. Have there been more assaults on Occupy recently?

Thank you for the warning.

If you mean the comments denigrating occupy in America you'll have to scan this OP:

yes, Turkey is a major military ally, I doubt if we will hear much here in the US, not yet anyway.

My heartfelt thanks to your son and others for standing up for the 99%! Occupy!

Democracy Now reported today that the police are intentionally firing the tear gas canisters at the heads of the protesters.

Many have lost their eyes.
Many have horrible head wounds.
Many have been blinded by the excessive use of tear gas.
