a peaceful resistance movement. It looks like it's needed now as much as ever.

I get it that people need to vent their anger and I am not surprised that it breaks out in riots. It's surprising that it hasn't happened sooner.

But there are people who want to provoke a race war as an excuse to come down even more heavy-handed on POC. Riots play into their hands.

To be effective in making these killings and terrorizing confrontations stop, the energy from that anger could create a more organized national movement of peaceful activism. Vigils, organized protest days nationwide, public statements from well known and well respected people. Keeping social distancing in mind and practice, of course.

Change the attitude that cops are always justified, that POC are fair game. Build support for change.

It shouldn't be necessary. But it is in order to stop a growing police state attitutude of terrorizing and killing a select part of the population.
