Look at the voices calling for peaceful protest, restraint, and effective activism, even in the face of this horror, even in the face of outrage and pain. Black leaders who understand the stakes. /1 https://twitter.com/selena_adera/status/1266707305158017029

The white “allies” here proving themselves to be more interested in violence under the guise of virtue signaling. Who pays the price for this? Who puts it back together? Keisha Bottoms. Killer Mike. The same community that bears the pain and violence. /2

The same community that has led the way again and again at the ballot box, who has walked this treacherous road for generations. Don’t you dare commit violence in their name. Don’t you dare appropriate their pain for thuggery. Listen to the leaders. Listen to the community.
