    You would have absolutely no fucking way of knowing that is true. Go ahead, keep attacking people you pretend are your allies. Definitely what’s needed now.

    These incidents are totally only getting attention because of race and Lemmy is the most racist. Totally nothing to do with the other killings you list not being on video. Totally not that /s

    Yeah. Pretty weird in this case because this angle has been pushed for a few weeks and I’ve not seen it go uncontested yet, but it keeps cropping up. As if to say “what’s important is not where we are, but how racist everyone besides me was on the way here”. Which is just dumb. No one is denying racism is part of it. But it’s just brainless to think they can get away with this messaging and totally dodge the glaring fact that these recent killings are on fucking video. As if there could ever be a world where video doesn’t hit human beings harder than depressing news headlines. That’s clearly most of why these killings are getting such a reaction. Throughout the history of video that has made a difference. It’s even responsible for decreasing racism. Like with the Rodney King beating video.
