They always close ranks. Cops do not protect you.
Thank you for telling us you neither serve nor protect. Thank you for saying the quiet part out loud. That was state murder in broad daylight, captured from multiple angles by multiple witnesses, and the people of Minneapolis have eyes.
You support murder.
You support murder.

Something a lot of people refuse to internalize in this country is that cops (at all levels) are almost always rightwing in ideology.

Everything happening now has a precedent. This is not new. Please understand that everything happening now is very American. The only change is that it is happening on camera to middle income white people. Ask BIPOC and low income white people about abuses by the state.

"Why can't we say it?" "What does it take from BW who are already dead?"
Which of those BW can you name?

Today was my grandmother's last earthside birthday and I was on the phone with her as the news broke. Still surreal but glad we talked one another through it. After the lockdowns she really deserved a better birthday. SMH I am still mad for her and wishing her a happy heavenly birthday 💫
