Wow.
«On June 4, just days after protests began in Wilmington regarding the murder of George Floyd in Minnesota, a Sergeant Heflin was conducting monthly video audits — a routine part of her job — when she came across what was labeled as ‘accidental activations’ from Piner’s car.»

It’s the vocal minority, I guess.
Raging Blue Flame 😷🌊 (@LowBlueFlame) Tweeted: @owillis Even before Facebook took Trump’s side I’d been away from it for a year. All the gun nuts, anti-vaxxers, climate deniers, and the like got to me. Those weren’t bots, it’s people I went to high school with.

We have definitely “both sides”ed our way into this one. America is now the country that can’t decide whether to do anything about racism or not.

@patrickc @Noahpinion Honestly America has lost its charm. American populace is too volatile to swing to any demagogue again who shows up in the future. I don’t think notable people would want to attempt moving to such a nation. Europe especially Nordic countries are a much better option.

This:
«these incidences of violence perpetrated against people of color are rooted deeply in the economic history and intertwined in the sociopolitical fabric of the United States.»
“Defund the police” can only be the start. As a nervous white guy (sometimes), I don’t know what comes after deconstruction, but I’m morally obligated to be ready for it, and I am.
