So does anyone else wonder what happened to just listen to the police

I remember all but endlessly hearing that when black people were killed in their apartments, cars, on sidewalks, in other public spaces, and other places. Yet now we never hear it in regards to the congress people who refuse to abide the metal detectors. Curious.

6. Well, whites against equal protection under the law FOR black lives get a pass, anyway.

Whites marching in support of BLM, or even merely objectively reporting the related news, however?
They had no problem targeting those whites with tear gas and rubber bullets.

Important to recognize that what we're talking about is not "merely" pro-white.
It's ANTI-equality.

And they'll happily target those of ANY ethnicity who fight for equality.

8. Closer, but of course we've all just seen that even being white PLUS being GOP is feeble protection.

Doesn't get much more white OR more GOP than Mike Pence, after all, and they literally tried to lynch him.

Now obviously, that was for not riding in to save the Turd Reich, but we all know WHY they care so much about it...

9. Right, but the maggot crowd was not the police.

Yes white GOP who cross Trump are fair game to the maggots.
