    In most countries failure to comply doesn’t carry a death sentence. Maybe I’m mad about that part. And maybe I’m mad because it’s disproportionate for black people. Maybe I’m mad because jogging while black and deaf shouldn’t put you at risk of police violence. Maybe I’m mad because even as a white lady cops look like they’re itching to get violent

        Breona Taylor was asleep when she was shot to death by police, how is it anything but a death sentence? and the worst part is no consequences for MAJOR fuckups like that. show me another profession where killing someone, intentionally or accidentally, doesn’t get you fired with criminal charges, and not just a vacation.

          If someone was brandishing a gun in a crowd -they killed themselves. If someone who had covid bad is having problems breathing when unobstructed wants to fight being arrested -they killed themselves.

          Police are people, they can be corrupt like anyone else. They also do a shitty job that none of their critics would do. They’re under high scrutiny constantly and have to balance now whether to save their own life or risk going to prison from dangerous situations.

          When BLM starts posting unedited un narrated raw footage without getting it shadow banned instead, then maybe they’d deserve an ear. Until then, all they’re doing is their part in diverting from the real problem of a genocidal, brutal racial slavery endorsing death cult. The art of war by turning their would be enemies against each other.
