With the arrest of the cops, the protesters should now focus their protests on removing Trump.

We need nation wide protests against Trump. There will be no change if Trump is re-elected. Hell, if Trump is not removed, Barr will probably represent the cops at their trial.

We need new Federal legislation to address police violence. It will not happen with Trump in the white house. If Trump is removed, federal charges can be brought against the cops. It won't happen with Trump and Barr.

I hope the protesters understand, the biggest threat facing them, their goals, is Trump.

I’m sure it won’t remove him but could send a strong message to those morons still supporting him. Especially those who have their own elections.

When they wanted a friendly platform to defend Zimmerman, tell us just what a sweet guy he was, and highlight Trayvon Martin's school detention and marijuana use... they went to their local Hate Radio stations that broadcast nothing but Limbaugh, Hannity and assorted local racist shit.

When they wanted to excuse the choking of Eric Gardner and tell us just what a big, scary man he was, they went to their local Hate Radio stations.

When they wanted to explain how the police were perfectly fine to kill 10 year old Tamir Rice within split seconds... before their squad car had even come to a complete stop... they went to their local Hate Radio stations.

When they wanted to show that Rodney Brown was just a cigar stealing, scary, big black man that deserved what he got, they went to their local Hate Radio stations.

When they wanted to explain how scared the cop was who murdered Philando Castille was, they went to their local Hate Radio stations. Besides, just what was he doing in a nice car, in a nice neighborhood? Local Hate Radio was on it!

When they wanted to show you how dangerous it is for black men to reach into their waistbands, local Hate Radio was on the case.

Mocking"I can't breathe?" - Local Hate Radio

Waistband terror? - Local Hate Radio

Scary black men... and women? - Local Hate Radio

That hilarious little ditty, "Barack the Magic Negro"? - Local Hate Radio

Birtherism? - Local Hate Radio

Donald Trump fellating? - Local Hate Radio

These Hate Radio station offices and studios are out there. We should be on the sidewalks in front of them.
