Did you black out your profile picture on your social media accounts and tell everyone you cant breath?


I do not use social media because I think it is more problem than answer. I think it trains us to be less able to think clearly and sort truth from lies. It trivialises that which is not trivial and makes us believe that something worthwhile can be achieved without effort. As I try to live by the mantra be the change I want to see I chose not to use it. So no I did not black out my profile.


I agree with what you say,

When the police become lawless and murder people, why wouldn’t the citizens become lawless also?

This is just a prelude of what’s to come if justice is not served on the 4 officers who murdered Floyd.

Police need to learn, that in order for them to do their job to maintain law and order, they would need the cooperation of the citizens, therefore, when the police get too arrogant and believe they can abuse the citizens rights, the police become powerless when the citizens strike back and lawlessness takes over. The police started all this shit as they often do and have not learned from their past mistakes. Today everyone is recording what the police does and if they want to continue being lawless themselves, then lawlessness is what they will get from the citizens.

Yeah but the citizens will pay the price of this lawlessness, not the police.

imagine living with this looting and vandalism and lawlessness, without any police.

This what some of these protesters and democrats want.

If I was in one of those states, I would be looking to move out.

Wrong Max. The police is paying a big price when they become hated and not respected. They will become targets to be physically harmed by individuals and groups. The police have become, them against us, so now the tables have turned as it has become us against them, unless they start becoming public servants once again to protect and serve. They will become accountable for their actions once the new laws are put in place. The police killed the goose that laid the golden egg by abusing their powers. No one is saying there shouldn’t be police. Citizens want professional police force and not a criminal gangs for a police force. We pay them good money to be professionals, instead they have become criminal outlaws. Fuck ‘em.

The chances are you may only be able to see the intro to this. Nevertheless it should provide a search reference:
