You Say Potato, I Say Protest...
When peaceful demonstration doesn't deliver results, you have to find a new method.
I was watching the results of allowing 3 out of 4 murderers to start their weekends, free and with their families, instead of in an 8 man cell, earlier and I heard something that made me sit up and take pause.
Riot.
They called it a riot on the news.
No, no I am afraid that you have that wrong. Someone hand me my Erroneous Bitch Buzzer, please.
*Bitch, you’re wrong*. Have a seat.
This is the direct result of citizens, unarmed and INNOCENT citizens being murdered in the streets, and in the case of Brianna, in their homes. This is what it looks like when someone finally says “you won’t kill me today” and stands up against tyranny. Multiplied by thousands.
This is the “enough” in “enough is enough”. This is the absolute be all to the end all.
When cops feel comfortable murdering handcuffed men in the street, while people watch and record and beg them to stop…well, my friends, that is a real fucking problem.
Let me tell you this: I advocate for dogs, as you all know. If a dog had been choked to death, 450,000 white women would be screaming and crying in the streets right now until the culprit was tried and jailed. If you dare tell me I’m wrong, meet me in the comments, because this is my hill to die on.
When 450,000 will defend an animal, but not the life of a father, a son, a man who mentored youth…where in the fuck did this twilight tunnel drop me off? This is enough, more than enough. We are not this shitshow. We don’t murder one another, choking one another slowly to death in the street in front of onlookers. You and I, we don’t. But cops do. They have been and they keep at it.
Nobody has made a move to stop them. Nobody has made them answer for their brutality, for their misconduct, for their belief that they are above the very law they claim to uphold.
I’m not out here killing unarmed black men. Cops are. I’m not out here creating problems in the communities I’m sworn to protect. Cops are.
The blame lies with one group: blue. They have had a free ticket to ride since the damned park opened. It’s time to shut the ride down for maintenance. Some shit is broken y’all.
