Wait till they find out that we also have an alternative birthday song....

She needs better advisors. This is a bad move.

Sophisticated take, but I’m good with the part of any religion that condemns racism.

Try not to check out yet. The forces arrayed against the hopes of Millennials and Gen-Z and successive generations for a just and workable life are evil, they do have some momentum, but they aren’t unbeatable.

This is still about white supremacy violence against Black bodies—the usual policing of Black people! That the slave patrollers in this case are wrapped in Black skin should not surprise anyone. Black self-hatred is a real thing, and once its integrated into the institutions & structures of white supremacy, watch out!

Well that’s the thing, it removes race from the perpetuators, but not from the victims.

That’s a reach (the capt’s statement I mean). It likely isn’t a convictable hate crime. But that doesn’t mean race doesn’t play a part in it.

I couldn’t get through it. I have seen a few clips on Twitter, but my kids are walking in and out of the room and I don’t want them to see it and frankly, I don’t want to watch yet another murder by police. We know how this ended. This is systemic brutality and it was deliberate and these police officers enjoyed doing…

Being part of a white supremacist patriarchy is an exercise in extremism. They ~must~ terrorize those they wish to subjugate. It’s what makes them True Patriots(tm), just like the Founding Fathers. Mattingly has been told he's a hero and he believes it.

The police have used NHI (no humans involved) in paperwork, radio transmissions, etc. to diminish crimes against people they have no respect for. Like Black people & sex workers. This reductive, dismissive mentality the patty roller police have used for decades was on full display in that restaurant. Of course, they…

This is not only revolting but the “defense” the cop presented has to be a lie. It’s already been established that the police lied about what “evidence” they had in order to geta go-ahead to do the raid. Truth means nothing. Innocence means nothing. Grief means nothing. Decorum means nothing. The group may as well…

No surprise Mattingly is on the conservative speaking tour now. Murdering Breonna Taylor is literally his qualification. 

No different from taking pictures at a lynching. These people are animals, the “savages” they claimed people living in the Congo or Native American lands are. As always, projecting their true selves for the world to see.

WAIT!! FUCKING WAIT!!!

They’re psychotic.

It’s by design, not by accident. Make us relive trauma as often and as pubicly as possible for one simple reason- they hope we lash out, attack, get loud, or act in any way to justify further violence against us (whether committed by law enforcement or just the average racist citizen).

Getting away from the fact that there are people out there that need to celebrate a man who got away with murder (hooray qualified immunity). Why the hell did anyone think playing that footage was a good idea? Someone died. It’s not something that needs to be Tik Toked,

You seem to have conflated the two parts of my comment.
