The NYPD has declared a portion of Flatbush a “Frozen Zone”, meaning media are not allowed in and people can be subjected to arrest for not following police orders. It basically means the area is under temporary martial law. The last times the NYPD declared a Frozen Zone was on the 10th anniversary of 9/11 and during the beginning of OWS.

TRIGGER WARNING: Police Brutality
This video was taken an hour ago (10:45) at the Brooklyn protests against the police killing of Kimani Gray. Police are seen arrested a young black woman, bending her arms behind her back and pressing her head against the concrete with their knees as she screams. I saw police do much worse earlier today. Please spread this video so the world can know how the NYPD is treating the people who are protesting the police murder of a black 16 year old boy.
If you know, then you know. If you don’t, then you’ll catch up.

“Depending on who we were talking to, we were as likely to say we were Bajan as British. If we were at home, and Mum was chiding us for being too ‘English’, then we were Bajan. If we were at school, and someone was telling is to go back to where we came from, we would say we were British - somehow…
“How was the creativity of the Black woman kept alive, year after year and century after century, when for most of the years Black people have been in America, it was a punishable crime for a Black person to read or write? And the freedom to paint, to sculpt, to expand the mind with action did not exist. Consider, if you can bear to imagine it, what might have been the result if singing, too, had been forbidden by law. Listen to the voices of Bessie Smith, Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, Roberta Flack, and Aretha Franklin, among others, and imagine those voices muzzled for life. Then you may begin to comprehend the lives of our “crazy,” “Sainted” mothers and grandmothers. The agony of the lives of women who might have been Poets, Novelists, Essayists, and Short Story Writers, who died with their real gifts stifled within them.”
