"nothing is true; everything is permitted"
The problem is that every time something like this happens, there are those police or politicians or whoever, who stand with or speak with the protestors, but once the issue has died down, their words lead to nothing,Agreed 100%.
I appreciate any celebrity / sports figure speaking out against systemic problems like racism and abuse of authority, but the weight behind it would be 100 times more if it were police departments around America doing it instead. The New Jersey police chief who marched with protesters IMO sent a powerful message to cops everywhere who may be afraid to speak out against their peers. I sincerely hope that act leads to some sort of change within the policing system in America.
They need to follow through with action when the cameras aren’t pointed at them and hundreds/thousands of voices aren’t yelling at them in unison.
They need to be held accountable for the promises they say.
