There have been over a thousand official resignations by police officers solely in Istanbul as far as we know.

Lawyers have set up toll free numbers and are offering their services to the people in need.

There are also lawsuits being filed to the police captains that have led the attacks on harmless individuals.

Policemen are resigning in disagreement with how the events have been handled by their own (and other government bodies).

People are not supporting the government in any way.

There might have been 47% of this nation that voted for him but once he started harming people, even those guys knew better than to side with him.

We are hoping it leads to a re-election and us overthrowing Erdogan, yes.

America shouldn't be intervening in any way shape or form here.

And in my opinion, they will not because they cannot. This is not some country that you can just waltz into with an army and harm its people.

The TSK ( Turkish Armed Forces ) will not let it happen.

Video of excessive force used by the police.

The best thing you could do is try to raise awareness in your local communities and share it on any sort of social media you can.

You can see it as one of the top trending topics on twitter I think ( Sorry, I don't use twitter...).

By helping us raise awareness and turn the eyes of the world towards Turkey, you give us more than a fighting chance. You give us coverage.

And with coverage comes pressure.
