So if you live in a state that doesn't have open carry laws & you come across individuals who are cosplaying law enforcement without badges, but won't answer simple polite questions while carrying guns, call the police on them. They're breaking the law until investigated

And this is why the police should not comply with the Feds. If they can gas them & lie about how things went down, what makes the police think they won't shoot at them???

This is why Pelosi didn't push for Crockett or AOC or KATY to be the Minority Speaker of the house ... they're able to speak to all ppl, they hold no punches, & most importantly ... they can't be manipulated or controlled.

Interesting. I have NEVA in my life uttered the words that someone is invited to the cookout.

Why? Because the ppl I know who throw cookouts aren't to keen on ppl they don't know eating at their table. If you got an invite, its for you & your ppl & that's it.

The cookout isn’t a prize, and allyship isn’t earned with seasoning and song lyrics. #blackhistory
