Awful. Horrendous. Vile.

As we don’t yet know the shooter’s motivation, I’ll wait to make a larger point until the facts come out. Like we should do - and neglect to do - in every viral video that others have used to justify riots.

But THIS must be addressed NOW.

A city leader says a 31-year-old mother deserved this, witnesses celebrate shooting cops, & “protestors” wish them death.

An ACAB climate has been built on a lie, fostered by radicals, and tolerated by ppl who only hope to never be called racist.
The lie told and retold creating this climate is that black men are being “hunted down” by cops and killed “just for being black.”

It’s repeated by stars, athletes & the media until it’s accepted as true.

But it’s statistically, provably, false. It’s a lie creating the climate.
The lie is weaponized by a radical group: BLM.

Black Lives Matter has a Marxist platform, a driving ideology in critical race theory, violent historical origins, & revolutionary goals.

All good people believe black lives matter, but it’s on you to know abt Black Lives Matter.
The lie is then tolerated, believed, and repeated, by naive people who want to get through their day without being called a racist, who may even hope to call a few other people racist online during lunch break, and sit down at the end of the day feeling enlightened and superior.
These naive people are not only helping create an ACAB climate that leads to violence...they are doing untold damage to young black men who believe the lie they are being hunted.

And let me be clear, for these naive people, it’s not about helping anyone...it’s about them.
Most ppl believe black lives matter, want a more equal country, & would like to end racism.

But do you think that anyone who rejects the lie, sees BLM, and doesn’t yell “racist” at everything, is just...racist?

Do you really believe it’s simple as you’re good & they’re bad?
It’s past time to look around, see the climate, see the cost, understand BLM, live virtuously, not signal virtuously, live up to - not tear down - America’s values, and tell the truth.
