In La Mesa, California, it looked like a shift change. At sundown, the protesters packed up and left as the looters arrived.

There have been many very, very bad presidents; ask Native Peoples about Andrew Jackson’s 5,000 mile road trip called the “Trail of Tears.” Choosing the worst of all time is a tough call, but the dumbest of all time and the worst of my lifetime is clearly Trump.
Corporate press releases don’t impress me.
Two nights ago, the music school where my daughters learned to play piano was on fire. The next morning a grandmother from my community was in ICU from a rubber bullet to the head. This morning one of my students told me his grandparents died of COVID over the weekend. Tears of rage and tears of sorrow at the same…
That wasn’t a beating, it was defending people’s lives.
Who needs insurance when you don’t own a car (anymore)?
It was white kids that kicked his ass, too! Twice the karma.
“Some white people have been showing up for the ongoing protests against the George Floyd killing with thoughtfulness and in solidarity, including by putting their bodies in between cops and black protestors.”

Where does contributing to someone’s death with callous disregard and a total lack of concern for their life?
Just power. He’s a cop, and when he says “jump”, you better fucking earn Olympic gold before he takes a breath.
A frightened, sad little man.
We’re all going to die eventually, so murder can’t really be a crime.
If I shot someone on warfarin, a common blood thinning drug and they bleed to death, am I innocent of murder because my victim had an “underlying condition” that “contributed to his death”?
When I see one officer taze another to protect a citizen, then I’ll be impressed. That could have happened here; any or all of the other three officers could have wrestled Chauvin off of George, saved his life on that cell phone video, and been heroes to the Black community and to all those “good officers” we hear…
And his idol Jordan Peterson is still a drug-addled hypocrite who can’t walk his own talk.
As for his post, I’m a sixty year-old white middle school math teacher.
White people see a bad officer choke a Black man to death..
