After the verdict was announced, Floyd’s family members emphasized the importance of the Senate passing the police reform measure. In an op-ed for The Washington Post on Wednesday, Philonise Floyd called on the Senate to “begin the work of transforming policing in the United States” by passing the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act.
“What does justice feel like?” he wrote. “It feels like maybe we can finally take a breath.”If you need more information I will also leave this here:given the raiders included the date, my take is we've been holding our collective breath.I Give them the benefit of the doubt.those nypd scumbags on the otherhand
is it racist or we just don't agree?

Not sure what I should say that is going to paint me as a racist now so I'll wait for your reply.As far as “painting you” in a certain light, I have not accused you of anything. I don’t even know you. If I were to guess, you WANT me to accuse you of being racist. It’s a constant ploy of conservatives, particularly the Tucker Carlsonites who will defend white cops to the bitter end, no matter how many black US citizens are wrongfully murdered by the people who are supposed to protect them, this ensuring the status quo remains.All white folk in North America are a result of centuries of European colonialism. White people have ruled the world and have committed atrocities around the world to ensure the highest standard of living at the expense of “inferior” minorities. The police are now the enforcers of that on a localized scale. Keep the minorities down (you supporting how they handle things) ensures you and your white privilege (which you may or may not admit to) lives a wonderful and comfortable life.Post edited by 1ThoughtKnown on0 -

https://youtu.bOnce again, a post pointing to a comment made by a single black person, this time on television. Do you really think he speaks for all black people? CNN is as bad as Faux News in my opinion. News-tainment isn’t for me. The last thing I want is a bunch of talking heads on a split screen telling me how to think. I get real news and draw my own conclusions.My point about Cosby was he was sure taking a high road telling people how to act all the while being a serial rapist.I’m going to check out of this thread. The Pearl Jam fans I grew up with in the early 90s had no time for any kind of prejudice. We knew the meaning of the song WMA. Ed was singing about white privilege before it had a moniker.0 -

Regarding the bolded paragraph, give me a fucking break.
