I guess if you’re never gonna accept any releases on the story there isn’t really much if you’re gonna dictate you’re own narrative onto it.

I’m sure people on this board know what I do for work and I’ve typed out/deleted about a dozen responses to misconceptions about policing in Canada and tensions in the states. I’ve worked here and lived in the states part time for the past two years. It’s so more complex than what we see and though police are an easy scapegoat (and rightfully so given their reprehensible actions), systemic racism is addressed through changes in the justice system, changes in identifying mental health, housing, access to legal guidance, etc. And that’s just in the legal side. Never mind the systemic issues of minorities getting paid less, access to healthcare, etc.

What happened to George Floyd and the countless others is atrocious and hopefully justice can be served.
