It’s insane this shit has been going on for so long and we just never really address it…
Go watch ANY black comedian from any period of time. They’ve been telling us all along. Police just wait for everyone to move on to other things again and then it’s business as usual.
I know Dave Chappelle has got his own issues these days, but watch Chappelle’s Show sometime - a show that’s gotta be about 30 years old now. Not just the skits about police, but the throwaway lines sprinkled in just about every episode. Look for clips of RIchard Pryor on youtube… I even remember Redd Foxx getting in on it.
The cameras everywhere are the difference now. They are clearly not solving everything immediately, but at this point their ability to go back to “business as usual” is going to come to an end, and soon, just as it becomes more and more common for police lies to end up costing cities money.
What I do think we’ll get is that policing looks very different twenty years from now than it does now. Frustratingly slow, but I do believe it will happen. 🤞

I wish we could see a big major event where there’s a watershed moment and immediate change, but I don’t think we’ll get that. If we were going to, 2020 would have been it. Instead we got headlines such as, “Protests about police brutality are met with wave of police brutality across US.”
