People are gonna hate me for this one, but I’ve gotta day one more thing about the current events.
The problem right now, is the media. The media is promoting only what fits their agenda, what gets them more clicks, and more money. They are making the issue appear(cont)

Much more black and white than it is, as if it’s simply us against them, however, that is not the case. There are multiple videos of protestors protecting cops from other, more violent protestors. Did any of that appear in the news? No. The are other videos of protestors (cont)
Being nice to the cops, and being treated nicely in return, and it’s mostly POC. There are also a multitude of cops that are listening, that aren’t being evil, and some that are even joining in on the protests. Is the media showing any of that? No, they are only showing (cont)
What will get them the most views right now, which is anything that promotes the idea that it is simply police vs. POC, when that is not the case. It is good people vs bad people, good people vs the broken, corrup system that is police, and even some police realize that. (Cont)
All in all, the media is the real issue here, promoting violence and the idea that it’s simply a two-sides issue, us vs. them, when in reality, it is a much more complex issue than that. There are bad protestors, there are bad cops, but also good protestors, and good cops. (Cont)
That’s where I stand on these issues. Feel free to hate me for it, idc, I’m not pretending to hold a different opinion anymore so people like me.
I do still fully support the #BlackLivesMatter
movement, and still hope to see change in the fucked police system. But nacab.

And with that, I will be logging off again. I will be instamuting this thread because I do not feel like arguing with people just because I like to look at the good in others, rather than just the negative. Have a good day.
