Too bad we don’t have a time machine. You could go back and explain to Gandhi, MLK, etc that they were wrong. That claiming and keeping the moral high ground is a fools errand. Because if you just hit cops with an inflated sausage, you can change the world! That’s real action! If you can just bonk them enough, then they will back down. No more innocent Black men getting shot.
I’m still going to lean towards bypassing the police and getting those in charge to hold them accountable. You know, the people who pay the cops. Cops may not pay attention to words, but they pay attention to money and jail time. Confronting the cops seems like a waste of breathe.
