"We're not anti-police ... we're anti-police brutality." Al Sharpton The Art Of Bludgeoning We can't have peace, take an oath, take a badge, now go, be brave, bludgeon that man, woman, child, until their blood redeems the views of the marionette's twisted predations, laid bare on the altar of lies, such is the denial of protest. ©Paul Vincent Cannon

This site is a hommage to Pierre Joubert, one of the greatest illustrators ever lived. He was born in Paris (june 27, 1910 and died in La Rochelle on January 13, 2002). On Wikipedia is suggested that (quote): ¨He had a controversial site. He has been tarred with collaboration with the Nazis during Worldwar II¨. Documents, however, have proved that this is not true. Intimi have confirmed that.

I know! It was very obvious to me when we lived in England for three years. Colonization just destroyed so many cultures and people.

The video of a cop smiling as he and his coworker flipped the white power sign to a black man and then smiling at each other Is white power for sure. It is disgusting and heartbreaking.

One that struck me in the images today was the fear on the faces of some of the officers – is it lack of guidance? Are they confused? Certainly when that man was pushed and fell they seemed to forget their humanity.
