Nah you're not wrong entirely. If he's convicted then libs will just wipe their hands clean and claim this as an example that the system works. I know this is borderline accelerationism but its also pragmatic, we know the system doesn't work and that cops like this almost always get to walk away. Remember the riots in LA didn't really start until after his attackers were acquitted.
Talk to people. Force people to remember this. I did all day today at work, most people didn't even know this trial was taking place. People really are tuning out right now because they think things will get better with Trump gone and its our responsibility to constantly remind them that they aren't.
I don’t think so. The country was in a different mood back then. Pissed off from seeing that video and just miserable all around because of the pandemic, unemployment and everything. The momentum just isn’t there.
Unemployment was like 14% back then. Lib take, but Trump being president made people more likely to riot imo. Not sure why. Tension was already building, as were the LA riots and I just don’t see that happening right now.
Honestly hoping for an acquittal, I want to see the Cool Zone again and I think it will be better in the long run.

Perfectly willing to get dunked on here, if my take is shit I'll fix it.

My main fear is that he gets acquitted and nothing happens.
That's the worst outcome and my fear as well. We can only wait, watch and also FUCKING AGITATE.
how do i agitate?

Very true, though if he is acquitted they may at least get a different type of justice in the form of more burning police stations.

You say that like we don't have the pandemic, unemployment, and misery now.

Better for what?
