I haven't checked the national news, yet, to see if this or any similarly conducted demonstrations have hit the national news. FaceBook is all over it.

We are all in this together should remain the narrative for this crisis also.
The looting and destruction will end hopefully soon, but the unity of all races must remain.

(34,104 posts)a little sobby noise. I showed him your pictures and he wiped an eye.
This is what the police response should be. Just because one of "theirs" did the horrendous deed does not mean they all need to stick up for him against the people they are supposed to protect. It seems that through everything that Flint has experienced they understand that.
Thanks for these pictures.

The asshole in the WH thinks he is president of just rich, white people. WE ALL need a representative who knows what life is like outside of DC. The black people should organize large scale voter registrations all over the country, sign up the young people. Show the gop there is strength in numbers, and we all want change. Vote democratic representatives all down the ballot, city council, school board, police commission, EVERYTHING. It is the only way things will change. The gop had their chance, and look at the mess they created.
