These US protests are highly triggering. Until you face police brutality you have no idea of it’s psychological effects

You feel helpless and your mind can’t register that you’re being attacked by those meant to protect you – for merely peacefully protesting for the right to human dignity. Saw so many students having panic attacks during #FeesMustFall. I myself couldn’t get out of bed for a month

Comedian Tumi Morake responded to the singer’s post and detailed a scary ordeal she experienced at 7 months pregnant when she had 7 rifles pointed at her.
The incident took place in Cape Town and had the comedian wondering how threatening she must have looked. The reports of police brutality have Tumi wondering if she should be grateful she was hurt or angry they didn’t escalate the matter.
Yup. I’ve had rifles pointed at me, 7 months pregnant wondering how threatening I looked. Hubby in his shorts and golf shirt – in Cape Town. I see these reports and wonder if I should be grateful we weren’t hurt or pissed off we didn’t escalate the matter. No apology.
