These posts are slowly trying to isolate the protests from the actual murders. It won't work this time.

Asking for peace without justice is not the solution.

9 minutes of murder. Cleaning up after protests get out of hand is another way to be part of a community in anger. It says i don't like this part of the demonstrations. I would do it differently. Don't mess up my message. That is part of the community speaking too. I bet the WH is unhappy. But why are you?

Terrorists are killing Black Americans, and you ask why I am unhappy?
I have a feeling your message that you don't want messed up doesn't have anything to do with my happiness at all.

free by cleaning up broken glass because, the opposite of what you slur them with, they want to message to remain clear: police stopping murdering black people.
