The cop doesn't use mace, a billy club, or a gun and instead acts (gasp) like a man.  Officer, tell us how you do it.


Most of the public resistance we have seen has consisted of a parade in which people shoot lots of selfies and then go home.  They seem surprised when there's no reaction to it.

Black Lives Matter was onto it about civil disobedience and they've been slammed mercilessly for it ever since but they knew it was necessary and the abuse proved the basis for the need for the protest.

The neolibs didn't learn anything from Black Lives Matter but, once again, America can learn something about revolution from France.
