fuck you if you’re saying shit abt the protests because they’re not being peaceful. Hundreds of thousands of people tried peaceful protesting, (including Colin Kaepernick) & everyone STILL bitched about it. people are tired of not being heard.
police brutality, especially against people of color, is a serious problem in the us & people who are more upset by buildings & property being burned/damaged rather than the lives of innocent/unarmed ppl being killed while begging for their lives are part of the problem.
but anyway, it’s been shown over years that riots ARE one of the most effective ways of being heard and creating faster change. but shift your mindset to think about the root causes of protesting, not how people are choosing to handle grief & the situation.
last but not least FUCK YOU if you’re white and have ANYTHING negative to say, you could advocate, protest, or keep your mouth shut. this is not about me, it’s not about you, it’s about the NUMEROUS lives that have been lost due to police brutality. let them be heard.
