(2,809 posts)that the reason behind the protest has not been addressed? The fact it has been brought to the attention of folks that don't care enough to admit there is a serious problem in the first place has changed nothing. I'm still seeing my black and brown brothers and sisters brutalized by police weekly. I see white people calling said police full well knowing that there is a pretty good chance that call is going to lead to some sort of rough treatment for those called on.
You want the protests to stop so we can win in November? You want the issue at hand to be settled with a hand wave because trump ass kissers will run to the polls? The only thing I find ridiculous is that you have come hereunder the guise of a ally of liberal ideals to peddle this garbage. If you are actually a progressive leaning person then it's ridiculous to label yourself such when you are willing to sweep the bettered bodies of black and brown people under the rug for a win.
How many black and brown bodies do you think will be crippled? maimed? killed? before November? 10? 20? 50? How many bodies do you need before it's enough for you that not standing for a song in peaceful protest won't be ridiculous....... for you...
