The irrational lack reason.  Call it something else.
your natural predisposition to morph into the douche nozzle you were destined to be will not be denied.I've realized that you are a weeping wound of bristling pride and seething grievance that will never see the world outside of your cognitive dissonance

One could leave the country, in theory anyway.  I hear life may better some other places for the repressed.

Oddly, some of the repressed elsewhere try hard to get here.

:-*  I feel like this is you growling.  Are you growling?  I don't recall attacking your career or your ability to do your job.  I've simply criticized your ideas and you for having them.  


But we all know I'm the jerk and you should probably just continue growling.

Is there a thing, or things, that could be changed wherein the protesters would say "OK, that's great, we're done protesting."

Anybody know what it might be, specifically (as opposed to something vague like "Justice", I don't know what that means.)

The events being protested are local issues (perhaps Fed agents in Portland excepted).  This isn't about national policy or government, it's about local policing.

What needs to change?

You're right, they're colorblind and it's all sunshine and rainbows.  Let's all pretend the same exact people who are so anti-abortion that they throw all the other issues in the trash aren't the ones who want to withhold every possible cent from these would-be poor, minority mothers' assistance. 

I'm the asshole, clearly.
On one hand you rail against racism and judging people by their group but then turn around and do that very thing.  The same evangelicals who oppose abortion also routinely work outreach programs at churches all around the country that help the very people you are talking about clothe and feed their children.

I think this is worth a look in terms of what some say to justify some of these acts (looting).  This is a published author, apparently, who wrote an entire book about why looting is, well, justified.  An entire book.

Call me crazy but the police killing or maiming people seems to lead to these events. So that's what needs to change.

I still haven't taken the time to evaluate whether their proposed changes are things I'd support, but I posted this a day or two ago. 

These guys are actually trying to identify concrete, possible changes: https://www.joincampaignzero.org/

I glanced at that site.  I guess they may have concrete proposals somewhere, I didn't see them.

I think it should be on the front page, a nice list, boom.  Not some aspirational goo.

It needs to change, um, yeah.  That isn't very specific, but I expect that sort of burfle.

It needs to change.

How would we know IF it changed?  What needs to be done to promote that change?  What IS that change?  Change could be more police killings.  That would be change too.

This is the sort of vague burfly nonsense I see from these folks.  Change.  Um, yeah.  I don't think they know themselves.  They just enjoy protesting.

Not killing people. Killing black people specifically. We all know by now more whites are killed by the police every year than blacks. No one cares. No one protests.  No one assumes the worst about the motive of the cop.

Very true.  But I've got to ask....is there anything good the religious do that couldn't be done without the religion?

Maybe don't kill unarmed people?  And if you do, you're not a cop anymore?  Hmm?  Might be a good start.
