The police van is toast.

Someone pointed out in the comments that the cops have red tape over their badge numbers

I understand the sentiment and love this song. Apollo resulted in so many useful developments and benefits, I am confident Artemis will do the same. Why can’t we build a just society, and reach for the stars?

I can only share what I’ve learned from the personal conversations I’ve had, what I’ve witnessed, and what I’ve heard.

I guess my question to you is: how many black men in America need to speak up for you to listen? What I posted (as was mentioned) is not something controversial or new. This story is told again and again and again. You don’t have to have lived in the US to hear this story loud and clear. How many need to die and how many need to talk about how they’re feeling before a person like yourself decides to listen and actually hear them?



Absolutely it is. Would anyone, anywhere question that?
K what? You wrongly accused me of being some sort of police sympathizer, now your accusing me of being a racist? You’re hilarious.

Is there a megathread on reddit somewhere dedicated to covering all of this? Can't seem to find one in any of the major subs.

I don't wholly disagree but I don't think you should be reaching for the stars when you're still standing knee deep in sh**, clean off the crap first then reach for the stars

If it, and acts like it cause change then everyone should be happy, a lot of people died in the civil war in 1642 in order to overthrow the legitimate authority of Charles the First so ultimately we could vote now, almost a million Americans died in their Civil War so the slaves could be freed.

Yikes, that's some crazy footage. Gotta say, those protestors who stepped in at the end of that clip to protect the cops are pretty damn brave.

R/news has a Megathread, but not the best IMO.

If watching a cop getting beaten while trying to protect his female partner makes you happy, then that’s fine. You’re a foster parent so you know everything apparently. You, Pepsi And Corsi should form an alliance and finally solve all the world’s problems.

I think only one problem needs to be solved here, and that's stopping American cops from murdering PoCs with impunity.

I dont know if impunity is the right word, but I agree with the sentiment. If these riots lead to a more equal treatment of minorities, that is the best outcome of all this.
