Everyone hates the police
On Sunday night [November 24, in Milan] Ramy Elgaml died after falling from the scooter on which he was traveling with a friend chased by the carabinieri for several kilometers.
Ramy was a 19-year-old boy who lived in Corvetto.
Since his death became known, numerous boys and girls, his friends, have found themselves in the street at the crash site, next to his family.
Soon the pain of his death turned into anger and thirst for the truth about what happened.
On the night between Sunday and Monday there were moments of clash with the police in the streets of the popular neighborhood where he lived where someone had started to set fire to bins and waste.
Even on Monday evening, for a few hours, normality stopped and in its place appeared burning barricades and groups of people clashed with the police, who responded by throwing numerous tear gas canisters in an attempt to disperse the people who instead did not allow themselves to be intimidated.
Ramy’s death is probably the straw that broke the camel’s back. Those who come from working-class neighborhoods have to deal with the police every day, for one reason or another. They know the arrogance and violence of the cops and know well what a police stop means.
And that’s how the anger increases.
At the end of Monday evening a 21-year-old boy was arrested and taken to San Vittore while in Corvetto the anger and melted plastic of the bins on the asphalt remain.
Ramy will live in the hearts of his family and friends, in the rage that will set the streets ablaze.
Cops out of the neighborhoods.
Freedom for everyone.
