In Monroe County New York (Rochester) an anti-annoyance law to protect police was just passed.

I screencapped it from somewhere too! It’s so useful when I try to explain what social justice really is.

All fragile, damaged, maybe broken kinds. Maybe kinds who think they see something vulnerable like them. It’s projection, sadly.

Just got into this discussion recently. I work in social justice and a lady asked me what I was doing with my whiteness.

Years ago, I would have been heartbroken that the work I do isn’t seen by the people I want to empower.

Nowadays, I have a different response. I grin evilly and say, “It’s camouflage.”

Don’t hate your whiteness. Acknowledge its advantages and exploit the shit out of it. One day it won’t matter anymore, but until then make of it a shield and a sword, and go forth against the Zimmermans and Barrs of this world, knowing your odds of survival are much higher than their targets’. 👊

Because we thought we could stop fighting, and they never did.

On the arm, barr. (Also up his ass, and in that black cavernous void where his heart should be)

Has there ever been a person or institution who constantly demanded "respect" who wasn't a total flaming asshole?

Huh. It appears John McNesby's erection has gained sentience and is now its own separate, persistent entity after hearing this.

What he's signalling is that the days of the DOJ holding local police to account are over and the cops can feel free to go crazy on us proles.

We must have zero tolerance for resisting police. Funny, all the videos of "resisting" (too many videos) that I've seen online include trying to ask the officer to justify his stopping/keeping/holding/attacking a "suspect", or people trying to defend themselves and protect themselves from physical assault. "Stop resisting while I twist your arm into a painful and unnatural position!"

Time to reclaim our local police from Federal ownership. No more DHS training in urban warfare. No more DEA 'shoot first' money.More 'protect and serve.'Local control, not Stasi.
