“No offense, but if they cops don’t feel like respecting free speech and protest, you probably should expect them bullets”.
The 2020 protests were largely non-violent, and when that was breached it was typically because the cops brought so much violence. Its amazing to me that people can see a civil rights image and see the police oppression, but videos of cops cornering a crowd and then inundating them with tear gas and shit gets rationalized.
Not about being “the king” just about simplicity and sufficiency.
I want ubiqituous immediate connection…we aren’t all maximizers, some of us just want the easiest serviceable & reliable option.
