Another shooting.

At some point, we have to hold cops accountable.  Another shooting. Here in Seattle I see BLM protestors marching on the streets downtown. Protected by cars, luckily. Again, the police union involved screams that people shouldn't make too many conclusions. We always here this if a black person (man woman or child) is involved. Seriously, if the cops shot people from Wall Street when dealing with them, I would have more sympathy for their stance "Hey we're just trigger happy AF, so what are you going to do?" But they don't and it's for a plethora of reasons. The only one that matters is that BLM and not only do we have to say it, but we have to help and try to change things. It won't be easy. 
 To that end, look at what happened in Portland. Police stood by when the right attacked. They always do this. Is it a random mistake? Unfortunately it isn't, as I reported once from a March Against Hate peaceful protest here in Seattle [1]. Why do they find it so easy not to attack the right? Because many are in league with white supremacists and want to use them to attack anti-racist protestors. Sad statement on the uphill battle we have, but there you have it. 
Meanwhile, for the evil clown show, Trump is screaming about never allowing socialism in America. In reality, he only wants it for the rich.  Edit: Also, the FBI had a report saying there was a great amount of white supremacists infiltrating the cops. But that doesn't mean that the FBI is all good (who knows? I do hope some have some sort of moral compass). Read this to understand that while we could have prepared for a pandemic we were wasting money on enemies that don't exist.

Add your thoughts when you can.




[1] Police basically attacked the entire crowd, launching flashbangs in the middle of the crowd. I looked later as what could have possibly set things off, and it was one person spraying silly string on a cop. So that violates the entire 10000+ group? Right, that makes no sense, even assuming that person wasn't an undercover cop.
