Apparently, Blacks lives don't matter that much in Chicago. I guess it's only in the particular case that a white cop brutalizes a black suspect, in America, that the entire fucking world, from Germany to Tokyo, needs to be indignant, for some reason. It's totally organic and not a political manipulation at all /s

Politically manipulated like astroturf suburban gun nuts showing up armed and demanding an end to public health measures who were being actively orchestrated by Hair Twitler's thumbs? Regarding your statement: No. the scope and genuine rage of it is indicative of just how NOT organized it is. You wouldn't understand that, however, if your knee-jerk reaction is minimize racist American policing practices. (which aren't suprising, given the origins of SOME American police forces in militias hunting runaway slaves, and others origins in working security for the great industrial "robber barons", betcha didn't know that.) Your dismissal of global visceral POINTED anger over police violence-with-impunity ignores 1) the scores of extremely well known black victims of police aggression that didn't result in any change. Philando Castile comes to mind, Freddy Gray, Eric Garner, Michael Brown. People are FED UP, and the issue isn't a light one like "i want a haircut" but rather, "I want not to be murdered by cops by the simple virtue of my skin color" Make sense?

  No, it makes absolutely no fucking sense. I can guarantee you that the people in New Zealand are not fed up about whatever the hell happens in the bloody MINNEAPOLIS police department. Your entire narrative makes no sense and it's just a well-organized, global form of race baiting that is going to end up doing the exact opposite of what you claim to support. It's going to further divide communities along racial lines until eventual separation. It makes sense if you claim to follow the ideas of Malcolm X, but not if you think what you are doing is in the spirit of Martin Luther King.
