please don’t forget about breonna taylor in all this. just because her death wasn’t caught on camera and thoughtlessly circulated doesn’t mean that her story is less important. black women’s lives matter.

think it is a good time to bring up the fact that the police in the united states of america are not legally required to protect people. that is straight up not part of their job.
furthermore, the united states police system was created largely out of runaway slave roundup patrols, they never existed to protect people, they were created to protect “property rights.”
They do not and have not ever existed to help keep folks safe. That is quite literally not even in their constitutional job description.
yknow, this is what these entities are protecting …
“when the looting starts the shooting starts” he says during the highest unemployment rate in the country he himself has done little to mitigate outside of send folks to their deaths.
these people care about property, these systems care about property. it was never about protecting life.
Capitalized “thugs” is a huge signal to his racist buddies too. That cannot be accidental.
It’s racist and on purpose. “THUG” is Racist Boomer for “I can’t use the n-word so this is close and I genuinely believe Black people are all criminals”
