They could still walk free, and I've seen outlets spin this as 'George had underlying health conditions' so... we'll see... Either way, I think the protests are far past the point of charging one killer cop - I think a lot of people got very disillusioned about how deep the corruption goes when it comes to law enforcement in the US, and how big a part racism plays in all this - like, so many people have pointed this out but look how different the response from police is to these protests compared to ones from right wing white guys... who bring f***ing assault rifles 28 minutes ago, Blown Away said: Arrested is good. Convincted would be (partially) what we need. Conviction is step 2. Fair sentencing is step 3. At least they got the ball rolling, but as Cautious Lurker pointed out, how deep does this structural racism go? Can we get a fair judge or even an unbiased jury? Stand in the light, cast your shadow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is actually very interesting to see the exact things happening from an outside perspective. So long ggd, it was nice while it lasted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s good they’re moving in the right direction, but the sentencing is gonna be the interesting part. I swear if they let those a**holes walk, America is in for another war.

I went out on Saturday and after that experience I have to say I don’t know if I should go out again this Saturday. I def would need better eye gear if I were to. Participate but stay safe. I had the proper clothing, but after me and my cousins got harmed and injured our moms want us to stay indoors. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on what you consider getting your leg cut, eyes burning from tear gas, body pains, and almost getting ran over by cops 4 times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
