It's a good thing nobody made any meaningful reforms the last time cops murdered a guy in cold blood for no reason and it sparked the biggest wave of civil rights protests since the 1960s that cops nearly universally responded to with a fusillade of pointless violence against unarmed people and by strongarming municipal governments entertaining even the mildest measure of civilian oversight, after which nearly all cop unions endorsed an overt racist authoritarian then in the process of implementing the most massive battery crimes in the history of the republic with the ultimate goal of ending American democracy in favor of an unelected fascist police state, so that a few years later those same cops, heroes that they are, would feel liberated to do the important work of beating and gassing kids on their own college campuses for the insidious crime of chanting slogans.

@GrimmReality Cause we keep quitting, we keep holding back, and we keep thinking playing by the “rules” of protests will somehow keep us safe.

We took the wrong lessons from Occupy, and people wonder why nothing has changed since.

The blithe presumption of conservatism is "We don't have to learn anything from anything -- and that others actually learning things are wrong - because shitty hierarchies constructed to keep people in their place are now and have always been correct."

@GrimmReality [the moment they realized they'd be better off with a white dictator than another black president]

@Theblueone @GrimmReality you do realize that’s Obama in the picture…

@ubiquiti_fanatic @GrimmReality Um, yes. As the cop looks on as he clinks his beer mug with the black academic who the cop arrested.

That’s the whole point of the use of the photo. The cop being forced to have a “summit” with minority/academic he falsely arrested and the cops realizing they don’t want to be humiliated by a black president ever again and would prefer a white dictator.

That’s the explanation but thanks for pointing out that that’s Obama.
