sure. wait on government to fix the problem.

OR

take the matter into your own hands. we'd have fixed the police problem by now if they were scared of us.

it's an extinction level event for a lot of things. we're already out of time on so many important issues. every living creature on this earth should consider him a threat. we are in self defense mode, or at least we should be. sadly, most of you don't seem to understand how dire the situation really is.

but whatever. stick your head back in the sand i guess.

i don't think we'd have mandatory body cams or a real push for reform without them. if it had just been peaceful protests, i think america would have shrugged it off like they do every other protest. if protests don't cause disruption, they usually don't have any effect. on the other hand, it could be argued that the protests have galvanized another portion of americans into being completely opposed to reform.

but of course, that portion of america is the problem and i think they deserve more disruption.

everybody wants to be civil but we're literally in a self defense situation.

we been doing that for years. hasn't changed much. what's the next step?

EDIT: protests are 20th century passe' and only affect change if they become violent (see george floyd), petitions are almost a complete waste of time, your congressman definitely isn't listening to you, i still believe voting is effective but not enough (and may soon be nerfed into uselessness)

really? seems a little less than organized and effective.

typical zoomer BS really. don't understand, don't care, going to make it all about themselves and their identities. i'm about ready to treat the same way as i treat the conservatives - like a problem to be solved.
