The FBI began publishing papers in the '80s, regarding white supremacists infiltration of our legal system, but particularly, law enforcement. 👮🏿‍♀️ Also, the scholastic 'Crime And Punishment In America', Elliott Currie, 1998.📕

You have no idea what the facts in the case are. Why do you assume you do?

At no point did the article say he was unarmed. And it’s reckless and irresponsible to spread that it is. Talk like that gets people killed and peoples businesses burned.

It is insane.They pull over black men in nice cars for any small reason. Same as the guy who was stopped and surrounded by 6 cops for jaywalking. The racism in the system is more than just shooting them, it is putting black men in stressful situations and then hoping they react.

We don't have a federalized police force that does community policing. The feds don't control Minneapolis.

Maybe this is the only way to avoid being shot: Pull over, turn the car off, and pretend to faint. I am assuming the police will not shoot a body that is in a seemingly lifeless state. I mean, I'm assuming. It might mean an ambulance being called, but at least no one is killed.

I believe the word has gone out after the Floyd murder; "Do it quick and clean."

This is why we have to act now; not later, this cannot continue. Our entire system is rigged and it must be changed.
