Reply to comment by Javesther in After viewing the Tyre Nichols murder videos, are there any police reform protests happening in New Jersey this weekend? by billmurrayspokenword

Nah, police violence and abuse of power is a systemic and nationwide issue. If you don’t want to protest, don’t; but telling people affected by police brutality to not only NOT protest but to support those very organizations is wildly insulting.

That incident has nothing to do with New Jersey. In New Jersey we do not have those problems . Those cops that acted wrongly will be dealt with by the Tennessee justice system accordingly. There are differences between peaceful protests and rioting and looting which is what has happened in Baltimore, Furgeson, Chicago and New York just to name a few. Burning down your cities and committing crimes is not solving the issues, it is very insulting to true victims of police brutality.

good on you for finding an example from the last 7 days, because yes this is systemic and nationwide.

but the poster you're replying to does not believe you, because he has had nothing but pleasant experiences with his local cops at the deli
