"Violence is not the answer."
In a perfect world it shouldn't be. We don't live in that perfect world, and historically, violence IS the answer.
Peaceful resistance keeps the protestors easy to oppress.
People need dramatic examples to shake them out of apathy.

People HAVE BEEN peacefully protesting for YEARS. Colin Kaepernick peacefully protested on the largest platform he possibly could.
He was ridiculed.
What's changed? The situation has only gotten worse.

The same people who say "violence isn't the answer" are the same people who jerk off about the American Revolution and how great it was.
Which, for the f*cking record, happened after the colonies peaceful protests were ignored. So they started a war.

Violence shouldn't be the answer. But violence is the language of the oppressor.
They don't listen to your words if there's no action. If there's no action they have no reason to change.
People can keep yelling, they have been for years, the oppressors don't care.

Seeing it makes you uncomfortable? It should. The situation is horrific and terrifying.
The people that are supposed to "protect and serve" are murdering without consequence and brutalizing innocents.

Violence is the response for those who have been systematically made to feel less than. To feel, and be shown by those in power, that they don't matter.
Should peaceful protests be enough? They should be, but sadly they aren't.

To the people who respond "All lives matter!" when we say #BlackLivesMatter

No shit all lives matter. But hey, newsflash, all lives CAN'T MATTER UNTIL BLACK LIVES MATTER. IT'S NOT ROCKET SCIENCE.

If a house is burning you don't hose down the entire block because "all houses matter"
You treat the problem.

This is all a terrible. Citizens don't feel safe, and haven't for years.
The oppressors refuse to listen.
