I don't get upset with folks that don't know what to say, or how to feel. The protesting asked for justice & this country hasn't explored enough models of what this truly looks like. So accountability = prison. & Justice = winning a lawsuit. It's vicious & cyclical.
No death by the hands of civil servants & first responders = Justice
No harm by the hands of white supremacy = justice
If harm by the hands of civil servants & first responders then accountability looks like...?
We need to start answering the last question. We cannot rely on this system to do anything but continue to protect itself from the truth of the people it has slain.
Because George is gone. Because Breonna is gone. Because Adam is gone. Because Daunte is gone. Because LaQuann is gone. Because Ma'Khia is gone. Because Aiyana is gone. Because Tony is gone. Because someone is gone in an attempt to uphold oppression guised as law & order.
Ain't no law worth upholding if it doesn't protect all of our communities.
Ain't no order in the death of our community.
