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.
