The proper way to protest in the modern era ... mobilize via the internet. Make a TikTok video with a GoFundMe link for the family to get a lawyer. It's 2020, not 1965 so let's get more creative and digital about showing "the Man" we're mad as hell and not gonna take it anymore
Big Tech is The Man.
If you're permitted to keep your GoFundMe, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube accounts -- then you're repeating The Man's narrative. Real rebels are deplatformed.
Interestingly, Antifa has no problem with deplatforming.
I'm so pissed. What does the NYPD have to do with the Minneapolis police department. Moreso, what does the NYPD have to do with 1 particular bad officer of any other police department.
Of course there will be a spike in Covid cases following these protests. Seoul South Korea just saw a spike traced to crowded bars, restaurants and work places. They have a modified lock down in place for two weeks. All restrictions were lifted on May 6th, and here we are, three weeks later with a large spike in cases. There was more than 250 cases traced to clubs and bars, and a cluster traced to a distribution center near Seoul. The company failed to enforce preventive measures like wearing a mask and social distancing. Protestors shoulder to shoulder from a vulnerable demographic? Recipe for disaster.
That’s indoors in packed clubs and bars without masks on. It would seem like there’d be a slightly different outcome, but I guess we’ll see. The only part where it may be similar so far is when they get packed and locked up in confined interior spaces.

Nothing…..

nothing.
The cop: had a ‘personal’ breaking point. He snapped. He purposely ended his career “the way he wanted to.”
(800,000+ P.O. throughout U.S.)....
They (the media, joe-yoBro-protestor, reporter, shanequa from the projects, finger-wagging
bodega-bros….etc): trying to make the Police force of Nyawk//America look as bad /even WORSE THAN:
.....The creep-thug who threw a Molotov-cocktail into a NYPD police van with the P.O. sitting in it…. and the rest of ‘them throught the "protesting" states.”
but it's 'nice' of him to offer to pay for all the MN protestor lawyer fees.

charitable arm, the Know Your Rights Camp, is launching an initiative to hire top defense
lawyers for people arrested protesting police brutality in the Minneapolis area").

While I don’t necessarily agree with all aspects of these protests, they are occurring in NYC and several cities around the country because the Floyd incident is not an isolated issue. Police brutality against communities of color is the norm across the country. Protests have been occurring for decades now and nothing changes, which leads to sense of helplessness in these communities. These protests will continue until major police reforms occur, making officers accountable for their actions.
I know Airborneguy will defend all police to the very end, and that is exactly the cause of most of these problems. Even “good” police will defend and excuse the actions of bad police, preventing accountability and reform. Whenever there is any criticism, you will get petulant responses like “well we just won’t do our jobs if we are criticized.” Imagine is doctors and other healthcare workers took that attitude everytime they were criticized or sued. It is only police that expect hero-worship and blind faith.
The following video is graphic, but demonstrates the issue at hand: https://youtu.be/UVZM8w9JCXI
Tamir Rice, 12 years old, shot dead upon arrival of the police. A little black boy with a toy gun strikes fear into armed white men.
No one bats an eye or calls the police at A white man with a rocket launcher “exercising” his 2nd amendment.
This happens all across the country. The police are called over anything if it involves a POC. case in point, the lady who recently called the police over a black man asking her to put her dog on a leash. And more importantly, the police seem to only fear for their life when the person holding a weapon is not white.
As long as blind defense of the police continues, as long as a substantial portions of the public continues to pretend police brutality isn’t a problem, you can expect These protests to keep occurring every time a major incident like this occurs.

The proper way to protest in the modern era, pandemic or not is with dollars and feet, not words. Stay home or in smaller groups and mobilize via the internet. Make a TikTok video with a GoFundMe link for the family to get a lawyer. It's 2020, not 1965 so let's get more creative and digital about showing "the Man" we're mad as hell and not gonna take it anymore. In a smarter and more efficient way.
Nobody gives a flying F about internet protests, they're meaningless
