I was always under the impression that a person's back was considered non-threatening.

Black mediocrity isn't a crime that warrants a death sentence.

I will say this in regards to the movements for judicial equity, specifically with regard to the decision to make BLM leaderless: the main drawback of that strategy is that nobody can control the intensity of the protests, and images of lawlessness and burning buildings play very well in the hands of the GOP and the law and order crowd, especially with an election around the corner. I know some you guys don't like to talk about these things, but remember that the straw that broke the camel's back in 2016 was Comey's announcement regarding Hillary's emails days before the election. They gotta find a way to control those protests in order to keep public opinion on the side of meaningful police reforms because public opinion is very important in deciding who gets elected, and public opinion is very malleable.

Aaaaand right-wing vigilantes are killing protestors now:
This is allegedly one of the killers: a 17 year-old bootlicker with an itchy trigger finger.

*edit: aaaand the police are letting them work alongside them.

Yeah, which is why don't turn your back to angry dogs or big cats. It's a vulnerable position.

Seeing people die on video is becoming too normalized for my comfort.

As ugly as this is already, I fear that this is only the beginning.
We're in for a rough road ahead.

Heard he was trying to help break up a fight.
Heard in the new footage you can see the cop holding on to the back of his shirt as he shoots him 7 times in the back. I can't look at it right now in order to get my work done for the day.
That energy from June coming right back.

Spoke with one of my elders.
Retired military, born in Louisiana and seen it all.
She told me that white folks have freedom. Black folks have liberties.
