The shooter was an old white dude. In before crazy online history is exposed with all that white nationalism bullshit or whatever this type gets into. They’re already actively framing him as being mentally ill, which is the treatment white terrorists always get. Pay close attention to how this man’s act of mass murder and terrorism gets framed by the media and pundits.
1. white racists (like you “good” whites’ uncles, grandmas, neighbors, and friends) only change their behavior when they are confronted by other whites with more status.
2. when Black people confront the racists attacking us, they just pile on harder because they get a kick out of knowing they’ve gotten to us.
tl;dr – just like Black people have been telling you for decades, it’s up to whites to end racism and you can’t do it by remaining friends with your cousin and grandma who voted Trump because “fuck political correctness”.
Video has emerged appearing to show Inkster, Michigan, police officers laughing and mocking the victim of a beating they had administered to an unarmed black man. The video captures officers in the police station as they exchanged fist bumps and laughs while the man they arrested sat a few feet away, bloodied and beaten. Thankfully, the cops may have to face the music.
‘In the Washington Post, former St. Louis Officer Redditt Hudson, who now heads the Ethics Project, wrote, “Even when officers get caught, they know they’ll be investigated by their friends, and put on paid leave. My colleagues would laughingly refer to this as a free vacation. It isn’t a punishment. And excessive force is almost always deemed acceptable in our courts and among our grand juries.“’
