Stop trying to divide us when we are trying to unite. The white people that are getting killed are the ones trying to help and warn their neighbors. Keep making them feel guilty and they may just give up.

Yep.

People should’ve already been angry. But better late than never.

"Uh Oh people seem to be uniting in solidarity. Guess we better find a way to tear them apart!"

OP probably.

I get it, but if this is the line for somebody, then that person is finally angry at the right people for the right reasons. You can tell them off and bicker amongst yourselves after its over. Just be glad theyre finally on the right side for now.

How many of those were captured on video? From multiple angles?

We don't have to pretend America doesn't have a racism problem to know that rhetoric like this is not well intentioned.

This is wildly reductive.

Indistinguishable from Russian propaganda to agitate for class division and disrupt solidarity. Fuck outta here with this self-righteous, tone-deaf slopaganda.

It would be naive to think race isn't a factor here, but documentation of the crime is also a huge portion of it as well. I have seen the murder of Renee Good from at least 3 different angles, and Alex Pretti from 4, including the exact moment they shot him in the back. There are certainly a lot of Americans that would be more likely to justify this if they had been PoC, but there was also a lot of national outrage over Eric Garner and George Floyd because of how heavily documented those murders were.

This is true, but detracts from the cause at the moment

Lots of people, myself included, have been angry about this for awhile now. But also, deaths in 25 were more than twice as high than the next highest listed. And 27 shootings 3 fatalities just in this year, and January isn't even over. Yeah, even more people are obviously going to be angry.

Cheap joke with no added value besides demoralizing and dividing the good side. This is not the way.

"no go back to fighting each other"

Fuck out of here you propagandist bitch

Some of it is a function of media. Media typically doesn't cover when non-white people get murdered. Some of it is the media reflecting the racism of its viewers. Some of it is being caught on video and leaving less room for doubt (and the media deciding to show the videos). There's also been protests and action being taken by normal citizens before these white people got killed (these white people were killed doing it, after all).

Part of the reason we are seeing such an active protest movement now is that ICE is doing its thing in Minneapolis, which was able to mobilize the existing activist network that was created as a result of the police murder of notable ~~white~~ black person George Floyd. This murder was national news and led to police reform in a bunch of states.

When notable ~~white~~ Salvadorian person Kilmar Abrego Garcia was illegal deported to a foreign torture prison, there was nation wide protest, with Senate Chris Van Hollen traveling to El Salvador. This nationwide protest movement eventually secured his release.

History time.

After the Kent State shootings, a lot of people stepped away from activism because they realized that marching could get them killed.

I'd say the difference right now is that Kent state came out of nowhere; there'd been plenty of marches before with no problem. Trump has been tearing down the rule of law for a decade now.

You find this sort of hipster messaging is ever actually helpful?

Better late than never, we can hold ppl accountable for inaction AFTER we beat the system

The thing is that they started to kill bystander not the suspects cuz they resided and situation escalated

9 deaths in ICE custody in 2028

I woulda thought it'd just keep growing after 2026. 🤔

People just felt they had to prove it to others that ICE is literally anti-american, and is not after just immigrants or whatever. If the white guy had drawn the gun, they would be way less upset, because there would be plausible deniability. It is hard to paint a nurse as a drug junkie.

Good luck deflecting this without looking like a cultist.

Op,

Racism is racism.

Even when you’re doing it.

I am happy that people are mad about the death of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. But I am also saddened that it took their deaths for people to care. If I was killed by ICE next week, would anyone care? Do I not deserve angry protesters?

Highly disappointed with this comment section right now. If you feel divided by this post then maybe take time to reflect. You're not a villain for only being sad about he recent killings, but getting mad at Bad for posting this is a shame.
