"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable"
I don't feel one bit bad about the situation unfolding(except sadness at the loss of life obviously). It's been overdue for a long long time and, with this lockdown, unemployment etc this is just the match. There has been a serious issue with poilicing in this country for far too long. They've become a quasi militarized version of a protectorate. They have fn wartime machines at their disposal. Again and again courts have said that as long as "police feel threatened" they are free to use lethal force. They've justified way too man killings as a "I felt threatened". I understand that it is not every single police officer that is doing these things but "one bad apple spoils the bunch". That stupid blue wall of silence and a sort of heroism from the same idiots that love Trump for the police have caused the resentment here. Theres been too many instances, not just against black people but they are overwhelmingly the victims, of police brutality completely swept under the rug by the department ad the DA's office as well unwilling to prosecute them.
The whole thing is destined to explode sooner or later. This virus makes it seem like it's going to be sooner..
