140k is now the poverty line. 70k ain’t cutting it for a family of 4. Those aren’t “great” jobs

Yes. The people saying no are no longer temporarily embarrassed millionaires but temporarily embarrassed middle class. Have or have not, and 140k is have not given inflation, healthcare, education, food, rent/mortgage, energy etc.

You’re thinking of Rodney King. Completely different. Mark Fuhrman committed perjury and tampered with evidence.

Not remote, they did. Police corruption let him off. If they let the evidence do its job there was enough to convict.

They probably have their personal cell phones broadcasting device ids. Collect that data too.

Not only that, too little too late to escape the global warming path we’re on.

Elections have consequences and this is what they voted for.

This quote applies when we’re dealing with the systemic wealth and justice gap we have in the US: "Laws are threats made by the dominant socioeconomic-ethnic group in a given nation. It’s just the promise of violence that’s enacted and the police are basically an occupying army.”

Democracy is pretty great but it’s clear the laws and framework we have don’t support democracy in the idea of what is popular is what we’ll have.
