Look, this is really simple people.
The entire point of the Anti-Police Violence Protest is to highlight and improve our system of Justice so that it works the way it's supposed to work. Innocent people shouldn't have to worry that they're going to get repeatedly hassled and harassed without reasonable suspicion, searched without probable cause, beaten without justification, tased, choked or shot to death in just one or two seconds - even they aren't armed or only have a toy in their hands, or are already handcuffed - by over-zealous paranoid cops when they haven't done anything wrong. And for the record being suspected of allegedly Jaywalking, Shoplifting and Trespassing shouldn't carry the Death Sentence for some people while others can walk around drunk, with an assault rifle and screaming obscenities at the Police for 45 minutes without even being arrested, or having their weapon taken away - let alone killed. Some people can walk around with a loaded shotgun, then defy police requests to secure the weapon and provide ID, without being shot or even arrested. Some people can openly claim they're going to kill cops and start a "revolution" while pushing a shopping cart full of ammo down the street and nobody questions them or takes them seriously until two cops in Vegas end up dead. But guess what? Those people, who were talking smack to Cops, defying their orders while carrying real, genuine loaded weapons, and suffered no retribution for it aren't Black people. Coincidence? I think not.
Cops shouldn't be using twisted and false stats touted by White Supremacists to justify their overreactions, their violence, or the over 450 deaths per year at their hands.
No amount of "Black Crime" can justify this, and they're not doing it because of "Black Crime" anyway - particularly since the Violent Crime Rates are already coming down dramatically - they're doing it because they're scared. They're frightened. They think "Black Demons" with "Hulk Hogan Arms" are coming to get them? They think a guy moving forward at walking speed - traveling 25ft in 6.572 seconds which is just 2.59 mph - is making a deadly "Full Charge"? They think handcuffed kids need to be "taught a lesson" their parents didn't teach them with a little beat down? It's pathetic.
The Job of a Police Officer is hard, it's dangerous, it's difficult, but it's not that difficult.
Prosecutors shouldn't give Grand Juries a false version of the law for 3 months, then put people on the stand that they know are going to lie.
I know people have lost faith in the system. I know people are frustrated by the lack of real progress over 50-60 years of being in this struggle fairness and equal treatment. There's damn good reasons to be upset about all this. But this is NOT the time to "Get Some Revenge".
Nobody should be shooting cops to get vengeance for anyone. We need better Cops, not Dead ones.
More violence is not going to end police violence. No Amount of Police and Prosecutor Misconduct or Violence Justifies striking back in Kind.
That's the way that Mass Murderer Christopher Dorner went down, and it didn't end well for him or really do anything to improve the LAPD's internal policies.
We have to continue to push to make the system better, not break it completely. We have the facts on our side, we have the law - as it's written - on our side. What we need is for the law, and the constitution to be duly and fairly enforced, not violated.
