black lives matter
all cops are bastards
either join or support your local protestors
figured i should make that clear here too in case anybody's got a problem with it. been really active on twitter since my city (Richmond) is among those with really intense protests and i've been doing charity streams to support my local bail fund in case my friends who are out protesting get arrested, and to my local mutual aid org (https://www.instagram.com/mad_rva/) since the bail fund has been overwhelmed with support. we actually raised $420.69 just last night! https://twitter.com/jimbohusky/stat.....537430530?s=20
if there are protests or riots in your city, look for charities accepting donations for bail funds for protestors or people arrested for giving humanitarian aid to protestors (like in this list here https://twitter.com/IMANISHANTE/sta.....64681080983559 ) or mutual aid groups for people in need whose jobs have been affected or incomes taken away by family members being arrested (or by covid-19, that's still a thing)
and also if you don't have local protests you can send support to black ppl who have already been suffering before these protests gave law enforcement an excuse to last out more violently than ever, like in this list https://twitter.com/RyukosGokuUni/s.....39563613908992
I'm going to be uploading stuff i'm behind on here so that I can reduce my tweets more to boosting other people's commission info and resources to help protestors, so if you're here from twitter feel free to say hi!
6/3 edit - Jesus, I didn't think to check back on this for dipshit comments because it's common sense to give a shit about other people. I don't give a rat's ass how many cops you irrationally worship, the only "good cop" is one who quits, and I don't give a flying fuck if you're a repeat commissioner, I will block your bootlicking ass if you open your ignorant mouth to cast any doubt on this movement. There is no time or place for debating human rights. You can message me elsewhere if you got blocked and realize you were wrong and want to apologize.
But otherwise, thank you for the messages of solidarity, and feel free to reach out to me if you're trying to do something to help the movement and could use a boost. I hope these resources are useful to people who haven't commented but needed to know what's at stake.

Including the good ones that don't do anything to stop the bad ones.
They're complicit.
If they really were good cops, they'd help stop the corruption, violence, and racism, or quit.
And 100% agree.
1312.
A cop can stop being a cop at any time.
A black person CAN'T stop being black, though.
ACAB.
Thin blue line can shit and die.
Besides, you’re acting like cops aren’t already the judge, jury and executioner of our nation. Shoot first, check for a weapon later.
ACAB.
"warrior cop" training, like the minneapolis police union provides for officers despite a ban on such practices by the city's mayor, should be banned.
officers should be trained in de-escalation tactics, especially in circumstances where an individual is not armed, is having a mental health episode or poses no threat to the public.
any officer disciplined for use of force should be removed from public-facing positions.
any officer who commits a crime should be treated like any member of the public who commits a crime.
any officer found to be discriminatory or racist whether in public or private should be immediately fired.
militarization of police including purchases and donations of surplus military equipment and vehicles should be made illegal.
any officer who turns off a body cam or dash cam should receive an immediate 30-day suspension without pay.
that's just off the top of my head
If these people are the 'minority of the group', why are all these supposedly 'good' cops circling the wagons around them? They arrested 40,000+ people across the country over the past few days to keep from trying 4 of their own in one city. That's not a 'few bad eggs' situation, that's systemic fucking corruption.
