What do you think of starting a Black Arm Band movement to show our disgust with the killer police?

I remember back in the days of Ukraine fighting for independence (hard to think about that now) many of us wore orange ribbons.

People wear black ribbons, arm band to show that they are in mourning.

Well - I am mourning. For our country and for all of those that are being murdered.

It might cause some people to be considered as a designated target by the police.

The white flag with a red bottom symbolized no prisoners.

There really is no acceptable compromise to JUSTICE FOR ALL.
