The permissibility of what happened yesterday only made today inevitible. If we cannot see that, we’re still far from piecing this back together without this happening again. The violence you’re witnessing is only so bold now because it affects you more closly than comparably violence of only years ago, but not with the same lens that supporters of this now currently see through.

As far as I am concerned, this is simply a continuation of the same masqueraded brutality on colored communities post civil rights era, just finally expansive and reckless enough even the most moderate white person can see it clear as day. That does not subtract from today or these souls lost then, merely provides a comprehensive enough picture.
