If this doesnt motivate the average US citizen to go out on the street, then idk what will.
ice just got 200 billion to turn itself into the gestapo, they waited too long, not that they were going to do shit anyways. They are going to wave signs again though, on the 4th and the 17th. This time the nazis will stop. Because signs.
Usually the idea would be to keep pushing harder and harder in a non violent way until they just start killing protesters. Then you have martyrdom and that will mobilize the masses. Sadly i dont think that will actually work in the US, because people have already died and nothing has meaningfully changed. There will probably be some targeted terrorist attacks by people that are sufficiently pissed of at trump, but nothing big enough to actually be a threat to the trump administration.
It’ll happen.
George Floyd wasn’t the first black guy killed by cops either but the circumstances were right at that time.
But have things changed since his death (and the related marche /riot)
Yes.
Remember when they threatened to discontinue Twinkies and everyone marched.
