    It's peak irony that just 4 years ago we were having BLM protests in NYC and now everyone is going back to the same old "lock up every black person" mentality as if nothing has changed. We're right back where we started in 2016.

    I think we need another BLM protest in this country because the first one didn't change anything I guess, the same old corrupt POS cops are out there doing the same damn thing

      You're right, but if the fact that police department budgets are up higher than ever is anything to go by, protests won't cut it. We need an organized movement that can use strikes, political power, and who knows what other fronts to demand racial justice.
