    Ok I get the joke but we have to stay peaceful in our protesting. Rioting is what they want. It gives them the excuse to launch full on martial law. Don’t give them the excuse

    Bruh, the point of excuses is long past. We have people being kidnapped and murdered on our fucking streets by government thugs who receive not even so much as an investigation.

    Violence is, and has always been, a part of protesting. Protests without violence are easier to dismiss. This doesn’t mean that violent protest is the only way, but as Dr. King said, “A riot is the language of the unheard.”

    Sometimes, you have you make them listen.

      You are right! We ARE long past the point of excuses. We NEED TO PROTEST. The people still haven’t taken to the street in mass though. The point is we make it harder to convince more and more people to join in and give their support if we turn violent. We have to win the hearts and minds of an apathetic population that has allowed this to happen in the first place. We gain nothing but more justification from the government to shut us down if we turn to rioting
