    Make the repercussions. Boykott everything you can, cancel streaming services and start torrenting instead. Organize, convince dumb friends and family members that this is wrong. Protest whenever you can. 

  2. What exact repercussions do you want for an incident that happened one day ago? He needs to be brought to trial, and a court needs to provide a result. Would you rather they just kill the cop back? The darker roads we’re going down in this country have nothing to do with the actions of one versus another, but rather with how everyone doesn’t understand their own court systems, liberties, and the Constitution. People are too busy complaining on Reddit and protesting the next thing to have any insight into how these systems are designed and why being slow is actually a good thing.

    Maybe it’ll be like Terence Crutcher

    > An Oklahoma jury in May found white Tulsa police officer Betty Jo Shelby not guilty of first-degree manslaughter in the 2016 death of Terence Crutcher, 40, who was shot shortly after Shelby arrived to find Crutcher’s SUV stopped in the middle of the road.

    > Shelby testified that she was afraid because Crutcher didn’t obey her commands and appeared to reach inside his vehicle. Prosecutors told jurors that Shelby over-reacted, noting that videos from a patrol car dashboard and a police helicopter showed Crutcher had his hands in the air and did not have a weapon.

    Maybe it’ll be like Walter Scott

    > Former North Charleston, S.C., patrolman Michael Slager was sentenced to 20 years in prison in the April 2015 shooting of Walter Scott, 50.

    > Slager had stopped Scott for a broken brake light. Slager claimed he opened fire — five of his eight bullets hit Scott — because he felt threatened after the motorist tried to take his stun gun during a struggle.

    > But a bystander captured the encounter on video and the judge found that Slager had obstructed justice by lying to investigators. Slager, 36, is one of the few U.S. police officers in recent years to receive prison time for an on-duty shooting.

    How can we make sure that this event divides a group who should be unified against it?

  5. I understand where you’re coming from. However, this attempt at humor serves to reduce outrage and thus normalizes the behavior.

    >It’s not the first time but it might as well be, the racism got in the way the first 99 times

    Sorry, did I get too real there for a moment?

    White people have been conditioned to believe this kind of shit doesn’t happen to them. It most certainly does but it’s ingrained in them that if a white person gets killed by law enforcement they definitely deserved it. For every tolerable LEO there are way more who will make your teenager give them a bj to get out of a ticket.

    Unfortunately the left is too disorganized to do anything about it.

    I truly have no idea what’s happened to this country.

    Sadly this is the dumbing down of America and it’s all by design. The rampant corruption, racism, bigotry, lies, and gaslighting from this evil, cruel regime holds no bounds whatsoever. Are we able to survive three and a half years of this madness bc we’re definitely in a dictatorship sad to say, and I’m scared of it. Also looks like Dear Leader is on the verge of starting WWIII, my god!

    That’s what I (white) kept trying to tell people (American citizens of all nationalities) that when an officer killed George Floyd all they kept saying was that an officer killed a black man.

    I’m like yeah but look an officer killed a us citizen. Same as happened here.

  11. To a majority of white Americans, she doesn’t matter and they don’t care because she was a Liberal and LGBTQ.

  12. + He was “selling cigarettes”

    + He was “acting menacingly”

    + He was playing with a toy gun in a park by himself.

    + He “refused to comply”

    + He did not “give me his ID”.

    + He was “reaching for something” (his cellphone)

  13. It’s ok because she was queer /s

    As a translucent American, I’m tired of watch the govt excite all citizens

  14. There are many more white folks executed for nothing by the police, it’s even worth it to make a list
