    I understand the sentiment, the phrasing was poor.

    What the fuck. I’d be downright scared to walk in the street if I was black in the US right now.

    The Trump self-own of pushing for a statute of being able to label groups as domestic terrorists is gonna be nice when:

    A) The KKK, Proud Boys, Neo-Nazis, etc. get labeled domestic terrorists organizations

    OR

    B) They refuse to label them as such.

    the united states government is one of the largest terrorist organizations to have ever existed and should be labeled as such

    (wanted to squat on that take before dump one inevitably ruins it for us all)

    Honestly? It's made me sad more than anything.
    Ridiculous that there's people in the USA in 2020 who live under the conditions that some POC have to live in is shameful. I think about my kids, and how I'd feel if we were black and living there, and its makes my heart heavy.
    I hope this is a catalyst for change, but sadly i doubt it.

    NYPD seemingly doing their best to take the spotlight off Mpls this weekend. Disgusting and horrifying doesn’t even begin to describe it.

    Is it just me, it does it seem like the cops reserve most of their violence for the peaceful protestors? Like you see large peaceful gatherings where the mace, tear gas and rubber bullets fly. Then you see the nighttime destruction and mayhem and they are no where to be seen.

    Initially after the murder of Geoorge Floyd came to light, I had hope too. There seemed to be a widespread understanding that this was clearly wrong and that there was a problem with our approach to police that needed to be addressed.

    Since then, our politicians (both democratic and republican) have instead empowered their police to go brutalize the public to regain control and impose order at all cost. New York’s Democratic mayor watched a video of his NYPD plowing an SUV through a crowd of protestors attempting to murder them and blamed the protestors.

    The ongoing police brutality should have been the lead topic of every news broadcast. Instead they focus on the tragic loss of shop windows and that poor people might steal from Gucci in the midst of all this. I haven’t been so demoralized and felt so impotent in my life.

    Imagine what an open nat'l forum (broadcast live) including black and white leaders could do for the morale and prospective peace going forward. Think what change that might spark if we had a sane president/GOP.

    This, and the comments section on Tweets and news articles reinforces how little empathy there is for POC amongst the general population.
