Though I agree with her, that's a former press aide to Michelle Obama, going off on camera, lecturing people to vote. This glows in the dark so much that there are aliens five galaxies over saying 'That shit looks staged'.
I also cant help but think that in the US especially if the right couple of hundred people cared about this all of those measures could be implemented but none of those are going to be be people caught up in the riots.
It puts me in 2 minds about the #blacklivesmatter tbh, I see the argument that its exclusionary and also that it's largely virtue signalling but I think on balance any change has to come from the population as a whole not just member of an oppressed/minority group.
Dunno if blacking out facebook and sharing shit on twitter will be enough to make a difference though. If everyone American who posted that hashtag didn't turn up to work for a week I bet that would though.
Having once been arrested and badly roughed up by Police in New York over a ridiculously petty issue ( an argument with my Sister-in-Law over a lost passport in a hotel Lobby ) I can tell you that they are institutionally over-aggressive ,thick as a Whale Sandwich and fermented in a sauce of Macho culture strengthened with a self deluded importance that what they are doing is noble and heroic and therefore justified whatever the means.
They have self-endowed a sense of being beyond reproach and accountability which is a dangerous cocktail when mixed with a trigger happy finger and "divine" sense of righteousness .
Thats just Cosmopolitan NY.
I would dread to think what it's like to be a 25 year old Black guy on a quiet back road in the South where Boss Hogg and his Good 'Ol boys run the Town fuelled by over-generous portions of Martha's Peanut Cream Pie.
When something like 60% of Americans don't even own a passport, what can we expect really?
It's because your life isn't constantly in danger and you're not consistently being oppressed. You don't need to say "white lives matter" because society in the west already respects the life of white people. Here's a short article for you: "Why you should stop saying “all lives matter,” explained in 9 different ways"

Anyway, hope this is useful.

Like the article above says, it's not "only Black Lives Matter". The fact that needs explaining is shocking.
That burning house clip is great, as glib as it is. What reasonable argument can be made to support saying "all lives matter" in the face of what's happening right now? If that clip isn't enough to demonstrate the futility of saying all lives matter then... I dunno, I'm stumped.
Everyday stabbings in London it needs to stop.
We really have gone back to the 80s. Cool.

Ask the kids on the streets when violence intensified btw. They'll tell you.
