I am not buying it because “justified” is extremely fuzzy. Anyone without a gun or who was not in the act of committing a violent felony being murdered by police is not justified.
Look at the absurd “crimes” and non crimes leading to murders. That some police shootings are justified doesn’t change the reality a lot are not and a lot of though are egregious and wholly inexcusable.
This has to be staged right? Right?

In a statement given to PIX11 News Saturday night, Nassau County Executive Laura Curran and Police Commissioner Patrick J. Ryder say the arrest of this protester and two others was “necessary” for disorderly conduct and that the arrest had to do with the demonstrator moving across lanes of traffic.
lol snitching in honor of Wendy’s and perpetuating outside agitators bullshit. This person also posted this video before that one but of course this one has barely any views because you can’t point at scary antifa or outside agitators starting the fire in the first place

Outside agitators and antifa were the people that also burned the Minneapolis police station when that was happening and there were videos like this trying to paint it in that light.
Headed to a rainy protest in our town today. I debated going given COVID but my sign says “You can’t socially-distance from prejudice; this is everybody’s fight” and I’d like my actions to be consistent with that position.
They’re going to have to deal with it.
Even the white coaches are on board now.
On Friday, Texans head coach Bill O’Brien said he will take a knee during the national anthem next season with his players to protest racial inequality and police brutality.
“Yeah, I’ll take a knee – I’m all for it,” O’Brien told the Houston Chronicle. “The players have a right to protest, a right to be heard and a right to be who they are. They’re not taking a knee because they’re against our flag. They’re taking a knee because they haven’t been treated equally in this country for over 400 years.”
Of course that is true, but publishing a wall of text that unquestionably includes some legitimate bad folks in it that threatened violent felonies at the time they were killed, and were killed to benefit the public, is counterproductive.
There are plenty of clearly illegitimate killings to point to. Wall of text is just embarrassing theatre.
Probably Soros.
I had the same decision to make today as well. I’ve been on quarantine since last weekend’s protest. Since I don’t live alone it’s not a unilateral decision.
Stay safe and masked up.
I’m going to copy that sign and hang it on my wall to look at.
Fucking NFL, man.
They should be forced to have Kaepernick run onto the field with a BLM flag before every game, with all the white coaches, players, and owners forced to cheer him on. They should also all be fined and the money given to Kaepernick.
looool
From the cesspool that is Nextdoor:
"Neighbors,
Let me say it unequivocally: Racism has no place on Nextdoor.
First, I want to express my outrage and sadness for those who have been hurt by the legacy of racism in the United States. I am heartbroken for those experiencing loss and grief right now.
Recent events have acutely exposed that some of the behavior we see on our platform is not at all in line with our values as a company. We’ve heard from many Black neighbors that they do not feel welcome and respected. For this, we are sorry. This, we must change.
Systemic racism in our nation will not be solved overnight. Neighborhoods, we believe, must be part of the solution. Nextdoor connects neighbors, creating dialogues with people you may not have otherwise known. These conversations can spark understanding — and drive change.
Nextdoor exists to foster these conversations in a civil, productive way. We are committed to building neighborhoods where everyone is empowered to participate. Our purpose at Nextdoor is to cultivate a kinder world where neighbors can rely on one another, where all feel welcome.
While we have been working for years to create this civil forum for discussions, it is time to expand our plan for improvements to our platform and our company. With our employees, neighbors, partners, and advisors, we are taking action.
We will better educate our neighbors on what is — and is not — allowed on our platform, drawing a firm line against racist behavior and removing comments and members who violate the rules. We will accelerate our plans to strengthen our community moderation. This will include improving the resources and support we provide to Neighborhood Leads who work to maintain civil and productive conversations on Nextdoor. We will also take deliberate steps to further increase diversity across our organization — and to make our team more reflective of the neighborhoods we want to serve.
This is important work, and there is much more to come. We are committed to plotting a clear path forward, where Nextdoor becomes a destination for vital conversations and trusted connections.
This change starts with sidewalk conversations and simple offers to help our neighbors in need. It will happen as we lean on each other through hurricanes and health crises, or when we come together at park cleanups and community cookouts. The important conversations start with these moments, at these intersections.
Only when we really see each other, will we begin to resolve our differences. Together, we will create a Nextdoor where everybody belongs.
This is only the beginning.

Ill believe it when I see it
Hey nextdoor your entire business model is catering to Karens who are afraid of minorities. Get fucked.
What if we put a BLM image on our LinkedIn page for a few weeks? Would that fix it?
In my Nextdoor threads and posts are deleted A LOT. Like Triceratops would have had half his posts deleted and the thread he’s all over wouldn’t have gone on for a day.
In other words, JJ Watts said “You are taking an effin knee with us coach!”
Fox News really working hard.
Aww why did they delete the comment, that shit is legendary.
