The United States is a democracy. Laypeople are expressly given the direct power to influence policy changes through voting, organizing, and protest. News like this is absolutely essential to informing the populace about what is happening where they live and what values and systems they want to support or oppose.
- lhorie 5y agoAs I mentioned, I'm not criticizing the news reporters, I do respect what they do. This thread originated to talk about individual reactions to news. If you read aboud injustices and go out on the streets and protest and that actually makes a difference, more power to you. Though realistically speaking, I'm not sure movements like BLM are making much of a difference, unfortunately (I would love to be proven wrong here though!)
