There are MILLIONS of cases, THOUSANDS of injustices, and maybe HUNDREDS of unjust deaths.

The outrage makes sense, the deaths are worse, and I'm outraged at George's death too especially when I first found out about it, it was sickening to watch. But that doesn't mean go off the rails and start blaming everyone & everything because some people are still racist & unjust in 2020. The cop who murdered George was an awful pathetic man, any others that ARE involved in these incidents are also awful but not millions of other cops who do right.

This largely comes down to whether you believe the actions against POC in the country warrant a political protest. You don’t seem to think so, partly because you don’t see it as an example of institutional racism, just a few individuals doing wrong. I think every unjust killing merits political and civil denunciation and I’m unsure why you happen to feel different.
