What Black Lives Matter has done in less then two weeks.

Trump ordered the National Gaurd to fall back because the show up has been too big. More protest are being planned.

Amazon, Airbnb, Apple, Coca-Cola, Facebook, Nike, Uber, YouTube, The Pokémon International Company and many more companies have donated money to Black Lives Matter totally up to millions of dollars.

All four cops involved with the murder of George Floyd are being charged.

Minneapolis banned chokeholds.

150 million dollars was diverted from the Los Angeles Police Department.

The city of Washington D.C has painted BLACK LIVES MATTER in big yellow letters on the street leading up to the White House. They also renamed the street Black Lives Matter.

Celebrites such BTS, Ryan Reynolds, Michael Jordan, Leonardo Dicaprio, Angelina Jolie, Kayne West, Drake, The Weekend, Chrissy Teigen, Blake Lively, Seth Rogan and Steve Carell have donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to the movements. If I named all the celebrities I'd be going on for a while so I'll stop it.

The NFL issued a statement saying it was wrong to censure players who protested police violence.

57 offices have resigned from the New York Police Department.

Donald Trump called in construction to build a wall around The White House. He is afraid.

The fight in America sparked inspiration into other parts of the world. 19 countries in 6 continents are protesting along with us.

Edit 1: A veto-proof majority of the Minneapolis city council has announced its intent to dismantle the city’s police departmentand invest in community-led public safety,

Edit 2: NYC has announced it is diverting New York Police Department funding to social services.

Edit 3: The Pokémon International Company released a statement having to do with Black Lives Matter. They are donating 100,000$ to the cause.

Edit 4: A video montage of NASCAR drivers speaking out on recent issues and showing support of the movement was posted on social media before Sunday’s race.

Edit 5: New York State Classifies Use of Chokeholds as Felony

I'm sure I am missing more so please feel free to add on in the comments. Police brutality needs to end. Don't stop fighting for equality. Shout out to the unnamed user who inspired me to make this post by claiming the protest were dying. Honorable mention to the other users wearing MAGA hats that say these protest are useless and are justifying murders. And if you have a problem with this post I suggest watching this video. It might help you feel better.

@CountScrofula That's amazing! Thank you for sharing this. It feels like the politicans are finally listening to us. We're changing the country.

SalttyDawg · 70-79, M

@CountScrofula Gets my 🍿 This is going to be fun. No law and order. Minneapolis will make East Chicago look like a tourist attraction 🍻

RedtheEmerald

@SalttyDawg Just because there won't be a police department doesn't mean every single cop that has ever existed in Minneapolis is going to clear out of the state. That's not how things work, dude.

QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M

@RedtheEmerald How do things work exactly? No police department = no cops.

CountScrofula · 41-45, M

@SalttyDawg They're replacing the police with a different system. Cause the current one works so badly half of the country is rioting.

SalttyDawg · 70-79, M

@RedtheEmerald Is that be cause you say that’s the way it will be. That’s not how things work, duddet
No police department there won’t be any police. DUH

DukeOfEarle · M

@CountScrofula Good. No police force. I’m all for it. When the entire city is burned down I’m sure they’ll do what? Blame the fire department? 😆 Burn it all down. It’s what the looters rioters and moochers deserve.

CountScrofula · 41-45, M

@DukeOfEarle "We've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas."

SalttyDawg · 70-79, M

@CountScrofula It will be a different system. You are right. Only the strong survive. You better lock and load 🤭

Punches · 46-50, F

@CountScrofula I think whatever replaces the MPD is going to make the locals shit their pants. They will probably wish it were only police officers instead of whatever new law enforcement system comes into action.

Out of the frying pan and into the fire.

Punches · 46-50, F

@DukeOfEarle Minneapolis will be a third world place. But at least the pesky cops won't be around.

Insanity - On Ice!

DukeOfEarle · M

I think they should get EXACTLY what they want. BLM: Burning, Looting, Murdering. @Punches

CountScrofula · 41-45, M

@DukeOfEarle If BLM was what you think it is half the country would be dead.

CountScrofula · 41-45, M

@Budwick Our system (that includes where I live) of policing doesn't work. Time to try something else.

DukeOfEarle · M

@CountScrofula I’m sure this is just the warm up. “Never let a crisis go to waste.”

Budwick · 70-79, M

@CountScrofula

policing doesn't work. Time to try something else.

And, anarchy is your first choice?

CountScrofula · 41-45, M

@Budwick I think you mean chaos, and no. There's all sorts of shit being written about alternative methods of community protection and justice. You're clearly not interested in them and I'm not interested in explaining them to you.

Budwick · 70-79, M

@CountScrofula

I'm not interested in explaining them to you.

Excellent!

RedtheEmerald

@Budwick If he does you'll just go off and hide in your bunker of denial and anger. There is no point with you. It's a bit of a hopeless cause I'm afraid.

Budwick · 70-79, M

@RedtheEmerald

If he does you'll just go off and hide in your bunker of denial and anger

And you'll bitch and complain either way too.
So, it's all good then!

Synyster · 51-55, M

@Budwick Don't listen to CountScrofula, he's a idiot. Typical Liberal, complaining about Canadian police force. 🙄

Budwick · 70-79, M

@Synyster You guys getting all this crap up north too?

Synyster · 51-55, M

@Budwick Only from those Liberal morons who are trying to cause diversity between police forces and the public.

QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M

@Synyster Lmao that’s nice - here in the states the police created this situation for themselves and the rest of us by being colossal assholes.
