In 1937, the Memorial Day Massacre happened in Chicago when striking steelworkers and their families were met by 250 Chicago cops hired by the company who began firing into the crowd. Ten people were shot, mostly in the back. www.chicagohistory.org/remembering-... 👇🏻11/12

So, forgive me if I don't find it absurd to see National Guard picking up trash in D.C. or think there's a "gotcha" because Shreveport has more crime. Historically, if not for disaster relief, National Guard are deployed domestically for shooting striking workers and minorities who protest. ✊🏻12/12
