Justice like the five cops immediately losing their jobs and being charged as well as condemned by their police chief and the DOJ?

yep, that's all a great start! but i'm down with taking these actions to protest the law enforcement culture that facilitated what happened to nichols in the first place. if this act hadn't been caught on a separate camera, it would have gone entirely unaccounted for & unpunished, like so many other instances of police violence.

down with communism, up with commas. got it.

edit: this shit is truly so tiresome. a man was brutally beaten to death by five office officers following a record-breaking year of deaths by cop - personally, that's what concerns me here. nobody is participating in OH MY GOD COMMUNISM by turning out to protest police violence on the green. fucking give it a rest.

Looks like this group is pretty cool. Know who you are supporting and who is controlling you.

Is this going to be blocking the road? Only asking so I can navigate around without getting stuck.

i'm not joining the fucking group, i'm participating in an outdoor protest in the name of a specific, very unrelated cause. i don't really care who made the little graphic to promote it. these people don't own the protest - many different groups are participating - and nobody here is secretly getting tricked by spooky commies into joining a cult. get a grip.

edit: how about this - i'm now actually holding my OWN protest, a totally separate one, for the same cause. it's run by me, who is just some local schmo who happens to be upset about police violence. it's going to be located directly next to The Scary Commie Protest. does this make you people feel better? are we okay now?

Police killings have been roughly static, so calling the 2022 number a “record” is misleading, especially considering that the U.S. population has grown in the past decade. Taking that into account, police killings as a percentage have actually decreased, not increased.

The capitalists here are mad that there isn't much capital left for them, so they're targeting you as a scapegoat. Consider yourself a therapeutic sounding-board. Good deed for the day.

Passed by at 6 but it was over.

hahah i greatly appreciate you, but i'm really not... too worried about a couple of dopey assholes on their little computer clicking the little down button & taking a handful of my precious pretend internet points away from me over Spooky Communism. my concern was promoting the protest, & it got to about nine thousand eyes between yesterday & today. that's a win to me.
