It’s like facts don’t even matter.
It’s like this isn’t really about black lives.
It’s like we’re living in a fucking clown world.
The founding, "Hands up, don't shoot!" was also untrue, so... kinda figures.

Anyone else worried that the streets of American cities will become unsafe if Biden gets elected?

It was nice of the police to give that 17 year old kid that killed people a bottle of water after they arrested him. Good thing he only murdered people and wasn't just turning his back to police.

This is not what you're asking but I don't think we're done with street violence in 2020.

I think many people, not just here, are done with sympathy for the non-protestors and it's showing.

Attending a Trump event and supporting law enforcement means he was there with the desire to kill black people? That's a hell of a leap.

Do you get a lot of your news from Buzzfeed?

No, it's not a straight line. But it's kinda /\/\/\/\->

If I'm already wondering if this guy jumped in his car with an assault rifle and took it to the middle of a street riot looking for an opportunity to wave it at people, yeah ... the Trump rally presents bad optics.

And no, I get my news from news.google.com, and sometimes buzzfeed makes the cut.

I initially read this as vegetarian militias.
