VIOLENCE

is what the state and the police and corporate media does

by forcing everyone to watch the MURDER of a Black person

and then showing us their indifference by refusing to arrest the officers

while weeping over poor people taking overpriced items out of a Target.
To see these same purveyors of violence turn around and call for “peace” AS THEY CONTINUE TO ESCALATE their violence is entirely absurd.

The people being terrorized by police & by the white elite who empower those terrorist forces are not the violent ones.
Again, I don’t believe this is about ignorance when this has been a pattern for 100s of yrs. This lynching in MN that white media chose to replay in graphic detail for 2 days came on the heels of an upper class white woman having her racial privilege checked in Central Park.
It came on the heels of ppl reacting to the “you ain’t Black” comment & to several other cases of police brutality & white vigilantism happening in a short span of time. All these events were in past wk or so. This unleashing of police violence in MN is to soothe the white elite.
Like I said before, the *obvious nature of the murder* is part of the point.

The whole point is that we can witness cold blooded murder by police & do nothing about it. It’s the ultimate flex of white power.
