even when the cops actions are not justifiable, there are folks who will victim blame until they are blue in the face.

The opposite of this is even more true, ijs.

As for this "we need to have a dialogue" talk. Enough. We've BEEN having a dialogue on this for years (probably ever since Ferguson went down).

The time for words and gestures has long since passed. Time for legitimate action on these supposed widespread grievances and oppression. Guess what? That part isn't sexy. It isn't quick. It won't gain you much notoriety. It's not able to be hashtagged. But if you have a legit beef, act on it, don't give more gestures that, in truth, bring more attention to YOU than the issues you're supposedly trying to correct.
