Comply with the police at all times, follow their verbal commands; they don't have time to fuck with you. There is plenty of videos on Youtube explaining the process.
Go ahead and post em so we can learn.
I don't understand,why people,especially black commentators say "We need to stop being emotional ". I understand,what they're saying but we're getting killed out here and people expect us to sit down and wait til someone does something.
Nobody says this about Jews.
Nobody says this about gay people.
Nobody says this about white women.
Somehow,we're the only group of people that gets told this every single time.
Black people have every right to get emotional because every single time something like this happens,the victim gets blamed for their own death, something they did in the past gets brought up and if they cant find anything, the police will dig up something about their family members or friends past and the cops will get off or have a very short sentencing.
We're human just like anyone else but I guess,we're not allowed to be angry for all the shit we continue to deal with.
I say this all the time,no,group of people will be able to deal with the treatment we deal with every single fucking day. They couldn't handle a half of day of this shit because they would have killed themselves the first hour.
The reason I state this is in damn near every thread, after every single incident is because all this emotion achieves very little. It’s the equivalent of prayer. What exactly is the tangible cause and effect here, other than simply allowing yourself to feel? One can argue it’s damn near selfish because all that emotion is for yourself. Once that feeling and all those emotions wear off, what happens almost 100% of the time?
Absolutely nothing. And sadly, that may very well be the case here.
This is not a time for catering to how we feel.
This is a time for action so this shit stops happening. So we stop losing our fathers, brothers, mothers, sisters, family and friends.
There’s nothing about your emotions, my emotions, or anyone else’s emotions, that come before stopping OUR people being murdered.
NOTHING.
I’m simply not interested in Jewish, Gay, White Woman or whoever else's emotions. I don’t compare myself to NOBODY else. I’m only worried and ME and MINES.
Feel what you need to in the moment, but don’t stew in it til there’s no action. That shit happens all the time. Inaction, as a whole, is ten times more detrimental than ones personal mental health.
Crystal clear judgement and mobilization is what’s needed to achieve a common goal.
