@opinionbelow@bAnthonYsr 70% of communities surveyed report distrust in local police departments States with duty to intervene laws have 10% fewer police killings 80% of Indigenous communities report distrust in local police departments
@opinionbelow@bAnthonYsr Too many white people want to keep blacks down. Instead of correcting their own evils, which by in large would improve life for all of us.
@opinionbelow@bAnthonYsr I think its easy to say adapt if you never been placed in inhuman circumstances. ook what whites did to the Native Americans. Some sociologists say black people in comparison to others who have been done similar have many more years to reach where they are expected to be socially
@opinionbelow@bAnthonYsr America is broken racially, because the type of healing and restoration needed is the main thing whites fight against. It makes no sense to me. Too busy giving billions to billionaires
@opinionbelow@bAnthonYsr I have seen the most vile, wicked comments from those who praise cops. no matter what evil they do. Also If we are going to prepare, I don't think you can find anything that blacks did to match teh brutality of teh middle passage, slavvery and white supremacy
@opinionbelow@bAnthonYsr You have a case like Philando Castile, where he seemingly did everything right and still got killed by a cop. I'm a person who is usually saying comply as best possible; my cousin is a police officer. but that even shook me.
@opinionbelow@bAnthonYsr Perhaps some of it is perpetrated by the media/ Alot fof people are not going to check for stats, they will think about what they have seen, they dont want to become a George Floyd, a Rodney King, A Ttayvon Martin, who was just trying to get some skittles and a drink
@opinionbelow@bAnthonYsr Resist or comply has both been deadly for our people. Any given situation seems like it can be a toss up especially when you have cops who refuse to de-escalate. You say you can live anywhere, you also dont have to worry about walking while being black. shot in the back.
