Police officers RESPOND to crime. They do not fight or prevent it. If I were robbed, they would not retrieve my things. In fact, their crime solving rates are abysmal.
Part of our issue is that you all seemingly don’t know what it is that the police do.

I don’t ever want to hear “poor people need to learn financial literacy, learn how to save and invest” again in my life. The past 48hrs has proven that’s a lie, the market is fake, and the game is rigged.
$15/hr is not a living wage in the US and hasn’t been for several years. if folks have to wait 4 years to make $15 MIN, we aren’t going to see a decrease in homelessness or unemployment.
It’s the way you’re allowed to be a literal armed terrorist, storm a federal building, and not bother to cover your face for anonymity since there won’t be consequences if you’re white for me
The fact that Stacey Abrams & other BIPOC organizers got out the vote despite suppression efforts is the story in Georgia. Republican efforts to disenfranchise their constituents is the story. In Georgia and everywhere else.
If Biden gets elected I honestly and sincerely hope that people do not forget that having a democratic president will not “fix” racism and oppression in this country. Do not stop helping marginalized people. Do not stop reading and thinking the work is done
“Police are paid w/taxpayer $$$. If they are not answerable to us, we can demand new service & that’s what this is. #AbolishThePolice in favor of that new service”

white privilege doesn’t mean you were born rich, it means u can walk into any town in America and not feel unwelcome, it means you can hold a gun in front of cops without being shot immediately, it means politics is something you can ignore. That’s white privilege
