    I know deeply how infuriating this was to watch, and I’m pretty sure that as bad as it feels now… things will get worse before they get better, and then when they get better a lot of serious shit is going to happen to every masked asshole in that video.

    Either the system will rebound and we will have justice, or the system will NOT rebound and we will go get our justice.

      The system has been empowering and looking the other way on right wing terrorist groups for decades. They systematically hunted down the leaders of the civil rights movements, they planted crack in the inner cities….all of our elected representatives send hundreds of billions of dollars to Israel to literally commit a genocide. The citizens of Israel have universal healthcare, free college and monthly payments per child from our tax dollars….our system is not fixable. There’s nothing good to rebound to the genocide is here now

          IMO the point of the George floydd protests was justice system reform, not a conviction.

          Seems like the people have to go bigger then the floydd protests to get that justice system reform we so desperately need.

          which is why they’re terrorizing MN. They are undoing the BLM protests.

          ‘‘if mass protests manage to get any results at all, even on a local level, then this is what will happen to your state.’’

          There were no reforms and the mass incarceration system continues to grow beyond anything comparable in any country and these prisons are for profit slave camps and the facist police union stands with the ice Gestapo
