Just woke up
What's the update?
3 big stories:
1. Group of protesters are trapped in a random houseowner's place of residence after being chased into a neighborhood by violent cops. The cops are waiting outside and have been for the past 6-7 hours, waiting to arrest them. The owner has said they cannot come in and has fed them/got a lawyer/etc. Dozens of people in this poor man's home.
2. LA PD chief pinned blame of George Floyd's death on the protesters. Got taken down after, but the damage is done.
3. Seattle had a fully peaceful protest that turned into a f***ing warzone on TV. Reporter got shot with a tear gas canister and people got trampled. Australian reporter also got punched in the face by cops while recording what was happening (that might have been in Philly though).
Damn , i want to see the white house burn
I feel you bro and yea there's a lot of important stuff getting blocked out, but I'm seeing way more non-black people on IG that are posting selfies and promoting their own music/businesses like aint nothing going on. I feel like the blackout will force them to acknowledge whats going on. Imagine someone posting a selfie amid hundreds of black boxes they're gonna feel stupid
Them types won’t pay attention even if you slap em in the face with this s*** honestly
this is too much man. rest in peace to george and all others who lost their lives to this injustice. i can't see how anyone can defend the police force in this borken ass country
Many of them are black too man, you can't ignore that.
we can when we're busy telling the rest of america to stop ignoring the unlawful killings of black people and the unjust systems built into this country
Them types won’t pay attention even if you slap em in the face with this s*** honestly
Facts unfortunately
Looting, Burning buildings and fighting heavily armored soldiers with stones and screams won't lead us anywhere. Just more black folks in jail and more division.
I see where your coming from but the looting will stop soon in my opinion.
but the protest will get bigger and bigger
Tbh I always gave him the benefit of doubt but after what he’s done today no more excuses. I like the strong man image but I can’t stand by anymore
We need all the help we can get but yoooo you been living under a rock
Illuminati
Who said a black man in the Illuminati? Last time I checked, that was the biggest racist party
Damn LBJ too.
Someone lmk if you see ONE celebrity saying the right thing and not clogging the #BLM tag with blacked out photos
Most celebrities I follow posted it with an @ rather than the hashtag
without covid isolations, do yall think these protests would've gotten as big as they have? part of me feels like the lack of socialisation has helped people come together, as dumb as that sounds
I think I misunderstood what you meant the first time.
I'm guessing you meant these protesters were put together by regular people and the others were put together by activists. There was lots of looting and some riots in certain cities back then so I won't say all of them were put together by activists but I see what you're saying.
What I meant was that now a lot of regular people are joining the protests and doing their part, while SJW protests are mostly for people who are SJW
However, I don’t live in USA so I’m not up to date with everything that happened, could be that there were huge protests I missed or don’t remember
Trump is a fool
trump always bluff's he aint gonna do s*** if he does his gonna start a war
