So when millions of us have seen with our own eyes the execution of unarmed black men, can someone explain how any policeman still feels permitted to do dastardly deeds like what was done to Jacob Blake tonight? (And don’t dare anyone say that we don’t have all the facts yet)

But we don’t have all the facts yet. Was there a gun? Was he tased? Why didn’t he comply with the officers, knowing the current climate? From what we saw, it looked to be excessive force, but we only saw a video from one perspective. Can’t we wait for more information?

If they were black civilians, these Police officers would get the death penalty for unprovoked, cold-blooded murder. So what will they get, do you think? #JacobBlake

It's a culture and mentality enabled and protected by the corrupted and well established
Replying to @marwilliamson
Ya sure, they're literal fascist enforcers. Modern slave patrols. As long as they're on payroll they're going to do their jobs. If we want it to stop, we have to cut off the money.

You don’t have all the facts. You don’t even seem to realize he isn’t dead.
Replying to @marwilliamson
A lot of it is the unchecked power of corrupt, intimidating police unions who seem to believe police can act with impunity with little consequences — BLM, etc. be damned.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Because millions of us HAVE seen, and the consequences are practically nonexistent, and the appetite for change is nowhere to be found in either party.
Replying to @marwilliamson
The holistic thing would be to wait about 72 hours for facts, evidence, and context to be released.
