      None of us here want protesting and rioting, but some of us here understand why it happens. You called me an idiot for my thoughts on rioting. Well, you would also call Dr. Martin Luther King an idiot as well. While he wasn't out there rioting himself, he understood why they were happening.

    MLK said, “I think that we’ve got to see that a riot is the language of the unheard. And, what is it that America has failed to hear? It has failed to hear that the economic plight of the Negro poor has worsened over the last few years.”

      There is no such world where Black People can voice their disdain for police brutality and it be heard. If that world existed, then police brutality would've disappeared 150 years ago. People have ignored Black America when it told them that Police were secretly abusing them. People ignored Black America even when Rodney King was savagely beaten for the entire world to see, almost 30 years ago. Black America has waited and waited and hoped and hoped. Still nothing.

      Now here we are in the era of Black People being trained to record every police interaction, and yet and still John Q Public is still hell bent on finding ways to justify unnecessary police brutality rather than do something about it. Right on cue here you come with the, so what does damaging businesses do? I will tell you what doesn't work. Voting doesn't work. Filing reports against police doesn't work. Talking to your white friends about it doesn't work. Talking to reporters doesn't work. The only thing that has ever worked is forcing people to take notice through public demonstrations. Unfortunately, as has always been, some people will take that opportunity to riot.

      Now the question for you is why did we let it get that far? When Black People were telling us that they were being abused by the very group that was sworn to protect them, why didn't we act? Why is it 2020 and we still are watching people being suffocated until dead in the street? Answer me that.

    You are no Martin Luther King

    Am I wrong about a Trumpist going to hunt and kill 22 people in El Paso?  No, I'm not.  You support that movement.  Hell is where you belong, and you know it.  You, your movement, and your Orange god who has dehumanized my family for 4 years, are irredeemable scum.  And you know it.  Sleep on that, you evil fuck.

    Quote me where I said that I support that.

    at 1:04 of this video you see the guy he shot. He is two inches smaller than the petite girl who walks in front of him.

    Being chased 1 on 1 by this dude made the guy fear for his life? 

    Juicy,  I am not defending the shoot with this statement.

    Don't get hung up on the size of someone.  I've seen guys that are 1 foot taller and weighs at least 75 pounds more get knocked out by a smaller guy.
