“this wasn't a race issue, this was a police brutality issue”

your opinion is clear. you don’t think it’s a race/racism issue. only a police brutality issue. I disagree.

“i think a vigil would have been more appropriate than a protest”

also disagree. what did I misunderstand?

I don’t believe I did.

  1. Police brutality is often linked to racism. Black people are disproportionately victims of police brutality and over policing. The officers being black, killing a black person does not invalidate racism.

  2. The officers were fired sure, but not everything is good and settled. This should never have happened, and they (police) should not be saying “that was fun!” after taking turns beating Tyrie Nichols to death. Firing them does not solve the systemic violence and injustice caused by police. This is why we protest.
