Someone tried to do something to stop it and they got angrierhttps://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-watch/wp/2015/05/18/obama-moves-to-demilitarize-americas-police/?utm_term=.65368a3734c6 …
Where the hell have you been? This isn't just the Trump effect, it's also the Obama effect, as he sent miillions of dollars of military equipment and weapons to the police. I swear, Obama-worshippers love their idol more than Trumpys do:https://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/09/us/war-gear-flows-to-police-departments.html?mtrref=www.bing.com&gwh=B01B4D72EC83618C4DB9F98F6569414A&gwt=pay …
Yeah, I'm sure about that, this article proves he sold those weapons, the ban came after. Read up:https://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/09/us/war-gear-flows-to-police-departments.html?mtrref=www.bing.com&gwh=B01B4D72EC83618C4DB9F98F6569414A&gwt=pay …
You’re gonna blame a program that began over 30 years ago on the man who used executive privilege to stop it?pic.twitter.com/uvhZE7R9US
And It turns out, sometimes Obama didn't even sell the weapons. Sometime he just gave them to police so they could use them on their favorite targets: Black menhttps://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2014/11/25/how-the-obama-administration-gives-away-military-grade-weapons-to-local-police/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.a95e88c3cdbc …
Still not much of an answer.
It was a shitty response...people were having meaningful conversation and that’s what she decided to answer. We’re all here for the same thing...the things we see are abhorrent let’s not get mad because we don’t agree on the reason.
Everyone wants to act like the reckoning will be automatic come November. We need to be united because if there is no plan of action when we are able to accomplish things...we all will fail as Americans.
Also that Emily has seen this fire literally from the inside and has a hard-earned and very valuable perspective on wtf is happening.
Don’t become martyrs become activists. Continue to fight but attacking each other will not help. The police act without impunity because they have been given a green light in this administration. They must be dismantled politically. Help us take our government back.
And how do propose to fix it? Because you’re not going to accomplish that going up against people that have been given the green light to violate your civil rights. You remove the people in power that gave them that ability.
This is a new thing. People make statements but, when asked to actually back those statements up they express outrage that anyone asked them to explain or cite facts. I don’t even disagree with the politics here, I’m just disgusted with this behavior. You’d make a good republican
When did he ever say you owed him anything? Is that what you wrote on research papers when the professor handed them back with red ink asking for citations? How’d that work out for you?
Go, Emily!
