Libs will use this to say BLM protestors should go back to brunch instead of continuing to confront the cops in 3…2…1…
Exactly. When the verdict was announced I felt sick to my stomach thinking about how the dems across all levels of government will use this moment to crack down on protests because “it’s just thugs and antifa looting now”
And when they do, tell them that the system was so broken that it required months of nationwide rioting and a year of the justice system sitting on their hands to call a murderer what he is
Facts! It took a literal police station burning down to achieve this. How much effort it takes to get anything even remotely decent to happen is exactly how they wear us down.
Not generally. They absolutely don’t support the protest. If I had a dollar for every lib friend or person I’ve seen online that was like “I don’t think the police are right but the blm are hurting their own community! The property owners don’t deserve this to happen”
They just want to appropriate their iconography for social media, that’s not support
Only as long as it is peaceful and ineffective. Any real radical protesting involving anything other than sitting on the ground and chanting results in tutting and eyerolling.
In the early days when the BLM protests were full of liberals a whole bunch of comrades were literally being grabbed by dumbass liberals and handed over to the cops too. It was vile and nasty. They tried to coopt and deradicalise it really hard.
Guilty on 3 verdicts.
Straight to fucking jail. That scene of him getting cuffed and being taken straight to jail, you love to see it folks
The communist party in Birmingham Alabama would celebrate when investigations, indictment and guilty verdicts would get passed down on fascist vigilantes; just don’t make the mistake of thinking we’ll ever have full blown justice from this system.
Ultimately this won’t have much of a meaningful effect on racial justice in the world or any cause worth fighting for. However, victories are not something leftists commonly get to enjoy in the 21st century, so fuck it. Piggy gets fucked, take a little celebration for the day
Burning things down works. Keep them afraid.
big text time for any pacifist libs:
You only get concessions from power under threat of violence it is why the state attempts to maintain a monopoly on violence.
CHAUVIN LOOKING LIKE HE MIGHT CRY
Not trying to downplay this case but isn’t it kinda bonkers just how televised this entire case has been? Like, this is a real life tv show. Who fucking even cares this much about this case when we’ve had like a dozen police murders in the past month alone. Like wtf? Am i just missing something?
This. It’s being put on blast to make the protestors look bad. That way the system can dust it’s hands off and say, welp justice was served 😤
Yeah of course and I don’t want to downplay that. But like, it kinda loses a lot of it when there’ve been so many fucking shootings and deaths since then. Like, the symbolic meaning kinda becomes just empty or hollow with minimal impact. Like voting Biden. But maybe I’m just cynical.
this is just what a big trial is like. The olds among us will remember OJ and many other 90s era cases that were very big
Yeah I’ve been steeling myself against an acquittal by saying either way this will almost certainly not prevent people from dying by police in the cruelest ways imaginable this summer. And it’s still true, but it’s good to see something happen.
This tells us burning down precincts is not adventurism. If only this was more clear/understood and could finally silence the liberal non-violence purists.
