Better footage at 13:30. 100% this prick was a cop.
If protesting peacefully ain’t working and going thru the legal process to get justice for people of color isn’t workin, and rioting is allegedly pointless, what is the RIGHT way to deal with a situation in which you cant call the authorities because they’re the ones abusing you instead of protecting you?
It’s either move out of the country or fight back and possibly be killed seemingly

You want to do this again? Look I’ll be very simple:
Racism bad
Corrupt cops bad
Murder bad
Pretty easy yes? Not all deaths of black men are at the core are racially driven. That is all. There plain and simple.
The U.S. was designed to work against Black and other non-whites from day one, until White America admits it, and holds itself accountable nothing is going to change.

True, but there is a pretty strong correlation between the two.

I’m sure he’s not racist despite having a penchant for shooting and harming people of color. Nope not racist nor enough evidence.

I’m not arguing against you but my general statement is what my whole point was to begin with when I began to become active in this thread. That’s it. No twisting of my words. The recent incident I will say is awful and sucks he died. I don’t believe looting helps the situation but it’s had to blame peeps based on what happened. Again that’s it.
The dude that kept watch, after being fired, went some AllLiveMatter bullshit, after the fact.
As the son of a former Minnesota Governor and U.S. Secretary of Agriculture, Hennepin County Attorney Michael O. Freeman started life with a silver spoon of societal privilege.
Concerning Freeman:
Freeman grew up in Minnesota in the 1950s and 1960s, when non-white people were about one percent of the population. In 2016, he told two black young men on a Minnesota Public Radio production that the Twin Cities was a “simpler society” in that period.
When one of the black men said cops will tranquilize animals but “shoot us,” Freeman said people should listen to police if they don’t want to end up like Jamar Clark, a black man killed by police officers.
Freeman later cleared those officers of wrongdoing and consistently refuses to prosecute police officers who shoot or kill people.
The issue with Freeman is not only his handling of shootings by police. He told Abby Honold, now a nationally-known victim advocate, to find more victims or his office wouldn’t prosecute her rape.
Concerning Prater:
Prater blamed the increase in felony indictments on a lack of “moral compass” in six ZIP codes within Oklahoma City—ZIP codes that correlate strongly with communities of color.
When three troopers punched an elderly, deaf black man in the face and wrestled him to the ground, Prater cleared the cops, but charged the man — who was only trying to convey his deafness — with a misdemeanor “resisting arrest” charge. Prater later dropped the charge but only because of the high cost of a sign language interpreter
Concerning Wolfsen:
tolerated repeated racism in his deputies’ jury selection practices and hid witness payments from defense lawyers. Wolfson’s office also charged a man with attempted murder for attacking a mannequin. The man pled guilty, after prosecutors threatened to add unrelated murder charges based solely on a law enforcement hunch. Then the man was sentenced to eight to twenty years in prison.
Having obtained six death sentences from 2012 to 2015, DA Wolfson’s bloodlust eclipses virtually every other DA’s office in the country. He also refuses to concede to the sins of his predecessors, adamantly insisting that Fred Steese was guilty of murder, despite him being in a different state at the time of the crime.
That’s just some, and the ones recorded. Relevant as it shows how the system has been designed.
Also relevant whenever protests of any form happen against police brutality/racism

HOLY FUCKKKKKKKKKK Cops for days defending Lloyds killer
Cops showing everyone that their only job is to protect their own
I’m sure when people said that it was that started the violence it got called fake news!!
History has a fucked up way of repeating itself!!
That looks like a Klan meeting to me… just missing the robes and burning crosses.

There’s a third option too.
Get involved in local politics, get more black folks on the police force, and get the community together. People like DeRay McKesson would do more good for their causes running for Congress or for mayor than they do organizing protests no one is going to remember in 6 weeks.
