We can't have civil rights protests like they do in other countries, because in the US, we brutalize and kill our civil rights protesters. 🤷🏿♂️
Look at what happened to the Black BLM protesters.
How many of the original Ferguson protesters are still alive?

What happened to MLK? Malcolm X? Fred Hampton?
What is Cointelpro? What is a "Black Identity Extremist?"
How many states responded to BLM protests by making it legal to run over protesters?
The net result of the largest peaceful protest in US history, is that elected officials, including Dems:
* addressed absolutely none of the structural problems being protested
* increased funding for the police. Increased! Over and above what the police even asked for
So yeah, Black folk get touchy when it's suggested that we don't protest as hard as people in Europe do. We do. And we do it peacefully. And we get killed for it. And nothing changes.

Bayard Rustin mentored the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., was imprisoned as a conscientious objector during World War II, lived a relatively open gay life in midcentury America, recorded an album, appeared on Broadway and organized the 1963 March on Washington. Despite his remarkable resume, though, his role in the civil rights movement has often been treated as a footnote in the stories of other men.
George C. Wolfe intends to change that.

So, funny story. Every cop's body cam is basically an AirTag. I did a talk at DEFCON explaining how you can detect and ID police body cams with your phone.
