    Since the May 25 police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee in Richmond, Virginia, has become an epicenter for protesters against police brutality and racism. The statue is now covered in anti-police graffiti.http://apne.ws/MUM3lZO

        Are you gonna talk about how the Richmond police have been beating the shit out of peaceful protesters for weeks on end there or are you gonna frame it as a both sides thing?

        So the protest is against police, not against Confederates!

        The saddest part is that Lee himself said not to build statues or anything like it. It’s painfully ignorant to have built them in the first place, in so many ways.
