“That’s was MLK’s dream. Thats what he died for.”

So this whole discussion about good cops/bad cops makes me wonder... I’ve seen so many videos of cops being bad. And while a lot of people will say there are videos of cops being good (kneeling with protesters, helping someone, etc...) what I very specifically want to see are videos of good cops, stopping bad cops…

Despite all THAT, she was able to REACH for and use her phone as police arrived on-scene without arousing fear and a call for SWAT tactics. She wasn’t body-slammed to the ground, kneed in the back, and pummeled senseless while being questioned. She resisted arrest and somehow made it to the police station unriddled…

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered.

Everyone at my hospital is still going to work. Got as close as a patient with it in isolation in the room next door, I believe. Have the weekend off. Back Monday.

Don’t worry, if you’re insured you can’t catch anything from people who are uninsured. That’s just science!

An ICE Agent named Jesus Mesa shot a Mexican kid for throwing rocks at him?! Self-hatred is real but the ‘cult of police’ personalities is too!

1. The strike is not a reaction to cutting programs, it is a reaction to the femicides and what protesters see as the lackluster response from the government.

The USA was founded on genocide by slave-owners, I’d personally rather not return to that particular moral compass.
