Showing Original Post only (View all)"Black People are Literally Saying "Stop Killing Us!" And there are people saying "But....." [View all]
If your concerns about violence are limited to property damage and looting, and you have never shed two tears for the history of institutional violence, murder, colonialism, segregation, lynching, genocide and police brutality against peoples of color, your words mean nothing; they mean less than nothing. Your outrage, in such a case is grotesque, an inversion of morality so putrescent as to call into question your capacity for real feeling at all. So long as violence from below is condemned while violence from above is ignored, you can bet that the former will continueand however unfortunate that may be, it is surely predictable. If youd like the former to cease, put an end to the latter, and then I promise you, it will.

This is who the NYPD Disrespects.
And the Mayors "Talk" with his son. He loves his family and wants them safe. He is protecting his son, a dads warning on how to stay safe. NYPD seems to have an issue with that. Well to effing bad.

And disrespect for the lives of the murdered black men and children that have died senselessly and violently targeted by white "peace officers." They show no remorse for their actions. They made it all about them. Poor pitiful me.
