So we going with the conspiracy angle now ? I mean at some point you have to trust institutions.

Its not a conspiracy if its the truth. Why put trust in institutions that have without fail proceeded to screw over people of color since the country was founded? I mean would you seriously ask and a brown or black man to put their trust in the criminal justice system after it has routinely without fail let them down? Would you ask a poor person who's life is on the line to put their trust in a criminal justice system that has routinely let them down? Trust is earned and not owed and the justice system in America as it is today should not be trusted.

America is perfectly fine with "niggers" getting this type of treatment, but this might be a bridge too far.
I wonder if this will spark some sort of collective outrage or she'll be considered a necessary casualty in the battle to "keep the niggers in line".

They'll call her a nigger lover and keep it moving. It's too late in the game to think otherwise.

Officers were chanting "whose streets? our streets!"

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news...t-after-breaking-up-protests?CMP=share_btn_fb

Police officers in riot gear gathered alongside a St Louis boulevard late on Sunday night, chanting “whose street, our street”, a common refrain used by those protesting against the acquittal of a white former officer over the death of a black man, after successfully clearing the street of demonstrators and onlookers.

At a news conference early on Monday, interim police chief Lawrence O’Toole said police had seized at least five weapons and said he was “proud to tell you the city of St Louis is safe and the police owned tonight”.

“We’re in control,” he said. “This is our city and we’re going to protect it.”

The chant drew criticism, however, from protesters, activists and some police officers. In a statement, Sgt Heather King, president of the Ethical Order of Police, a group founded by African American officers, said: “That chant goes against the very code of ethics we swore to abide by.

“Whether we agree with demonstrations, protests or acts of violence, it is our job to do our job free of personal bias.”

On Twitter on Monday, the group said: “We are human and we will make mistakes. We are also people who have the last word, which can be – arrest, freedom, or death. No need 2 chant.”
