I completely agree with this. And it's so disheartening that all people care about is money money money. Yeah it's important, but people put it above lives. Lives that can't just be remade, that once they're gone they Gone.

Everything, the government, the systems and everything needs a major reform. Just start from scratch because what they have going on now is an absolute mess of corruption that's just going to keep on killing those deemed 'expendable' as long as those in power can keep their power. Honestly though, I don't know who to even put in those positions. Power changes people and sometimes not for the better.

Shitty people will always be so self-centric it's disgusting. People LOVE being in this position of power and they don't want to give it up even to help a fellow man

RIGHT? and they're so freaking proud of it too, standing around with their guns and what not just trying to intimidate people into not speaking up about these blatant problems.
I've seen people around where I live even putting up Confederate flags like????? It's just wild how people can be like that and then still have the gall to call themselves decent people.

I’ve been saying it’s the police/government that are the problems but everyone just calls me a racist for saying that.

I mean, that IS the problem. So idk why they're calling you racist. The police/government and the systems they have in place allow police brutality and racism to happen because it's hardly ever punished appropriately and unfortunately the victims are almost always black or people of color.
The whole thing needs to be remade from scratch.

People have been pretty clear that if you don’t condone violence and theft then you are a racist. Not sure why but that’s what everyone is saying... at least on Facebook and Twitter.

I understand what the protestors are wanting but what will it get? They want civil rights but there already is civil rights. There are already laws in place that goes against discrimination and racism so not sure what more can be done. And I’m the end it’s not gonna matter if the people who are supposed to enforce these laws are ignoring them.

So yes, the police and governments are the problem because rewriting the law isn’t going to make a difference

Folks who are condoning the violence and theft i don't think really understand what the protests are about. I mean there's no point in destroying things, that's just like throwing a tantrum.

The problem is that the civil rights aren't being enforced like they should be. That's why so many are saying defund the police, and not defund them just to be doing something, defund them so that better systems can be put in place to properly enforce civil rights.
And that's what I mean when i say things need to be remade. Rewriting the law won't change anything, you're right. Cause laws are useless if no one enforces them. They're useless if the consequences of breaking them are little more than a slap on the wrist and a waggled finger.
So the solution, I think, is to get the people who commit these atrocities, or allow them to happen for whatever reason, out of their positions of power so that people who will enforce the laws properly can take their place. And the public needs to watch them closely because human beings are easily corrupted by power. They may be for you today, but what about the next year or the next? It's the public's job to monitor the government anyway.

Change probably won't happen soon, there are probably going to be plenty more protests but they can't ignore the public forever.

Agreed 100%

A certain part of the media / government is heavily invested in spinning this narrative that BLM are "terrorists."

They're the same ones saying Antifa is a huge, organized group. The police in one city mobilized because of a report that "buses full of thousands of antifa agitators were on the way." But woops they never mentioned these buses didn't exist."
