The multiple previous times I've been asked to condemn bad actors to prove... I don't even know anymore. If you've truly never done this before once, then you're a rarity. Don't make it a habit to hold people to this.

I tried before but no one ever actually condemned violence, or they always made some exception to justify it.

And now that I've condemned the bad actor, what will you do?

Same thing I would do if no one responded: wait for the fairweather activists calling me racist to get bored and move on to whatever new pet issue they pick up next, and continue to quietly illuminate police brutality cases that go unnoticed, just like I did for years before. I'll have a talk with anyone on how poor policing harms even those not affected directly by it with any who will listen.

Ftr, I also dont agree with this article in the slightest. People need encouragement and positive reinforcement, it isnt just empty words. Hell, I saw someone on here announce they were intending to protest peacefully, and no one on their "side" made a peep about it.

Next time I saw em, I made a point to let em know I supported their efforts. And they actually seemed genuinely thankful for the encouragement. This article seems to be strongly implying that such exchanges are meaningless or even bad, and I strongly disagree.
