😩 JESUS CHRIST!!! Cops give a brutal beating on the bridge between Ohio and Kentucky to young people who were protesting against Trump's policies and against the Genocide in Gaza.
Spread this far & wide!!!
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The footage shows a July 2025 confrontation between Covington police and anti-ICE protesters blocking the Roebling Bridge, not a recent protest against Trump's policies or Gaza. wvxu.org/local-news/202… fox19.com/2025/07/18/vid…

"The government have actively avoided looking for evidence Russia interfered."
The Intelligence & Security Committee's Stewart Hosie said the government didn't investigate alleged Russian interference in the Brexit vote, and no one wanted to touch this "with a ten-foot pole".
The fact is that Russian interference is staring us in plain sight. Russian TV hugely boosted Farage's public standing by giving him dozens of appearances, and without Farage, Brexit would not have happened. Brexit was the result of a successful Russian influence operation.
Please repost if you want Starmer to set up an inquiry into Russian interference in the Brexit referendum.
