If anyone ever says rioting is pointless, show them this. We& #39;ve tried to be peaceful, we& #39;ve tried to be kind, we tried to protest. But they won& #39;t fucking listen. https://twitter.com/sweeeetdee_/status/1267319103167107072">https://twitter.com/sweeeetde...

There was no violence. No escalation. Just a black man probably around my age speaking from the heart and pleading to his better man.

His reward? Handcuffs.

That& #39;s why you& #39;re seeing the violence and the looting. Because they& #39;ve proven time and time again that they aren& #39;t listening. So if we won& #39;t be heard, we& #39;ll make damn sure that we& #39;re seen.

Do I want to see this continued violence? No. Not at all.

But I refer back to my statement from the start of this thread.

We tried using the language of peace and compassion. But since they& #39;re not getting the message, we& #39;re deciding to use the language they know best.

To cap off this rambling thread, support people of color. Especially those literally fighting for our right to live.
I& #39;m gonna go retire from Twitter again.
