With the footage ive seen in the past few weeks, how can anyone not believe it exists.
Im talking about the protests of the white dudes storming the state capitol with bazookas, screaming
in the police faces and the police just stood there.
And the protest I have just seen on twitter now from Union square in New York, where a Black man was
(get ready for this....) Holding a sign, he of course got shoved to the ground.

(1,180 posts)If you don't believe in white privilege or police privilege, just look up this case. An innocent 12 year old, handcuffed in the back of a Dallas police car with his brother, was shot in the head. They were dragged from their bed. Sure, the officer was tried, and found guilty of negligent homicide. But he only served 2 and a half years for shooting a child point blank in the head. What was the crime? Someone broke into a vending and stole some change. The two kids were innocent.
