Its in downtown. I could walk there from my place, its a bit less than 2 miles. Im gonna watch from afar and see whats going on, I think. The Facebook event already has 1.4 thousand people listed as going, with 3.5k interested.

It starts at 2pm, and theyre marching to city hall. What should I bring?

I understand why it's important, but the coronavirus is going to spread like crazy during these protests. Let's just hope justice is delivered to that cop soon.

Just got back home. Left because I could tell it was gonna get way bigger. Im still slightly concerned about Covid-19, too.

Was walking the outside perimeter of the crowd, and saw a line of concrete chunks lined up with a guy hangin out near em. Had this bad feeling those would be thrown at some point. Pic below.

What got you down to slightly? It's gotten worse and worse. If anything, it's closer to you than ever. Use more than slight caution please. You're minds in the right place for keeping your distance and maybe you just were playing it lowkey. It's much bigger now that the police brutality is causing a way longer more harmful chain of reaction. They could avoid this by doing the right thing immediately. But the others who expect black people to just take all these unlawful unnecessary deaths on the chin and keep living with the anxiety that their child/parent/sibling might never come home again just for causing minor infractions they may not even be aware of. There's only so long you can sit back and let people cause this damage to your community while asking nicely to please stop.

You need an iron fist under that velvet glove.

Malcolm X is the iron fist and MLK is the velvet glove.

That's not my original analogy

park in the lot off west Dallas near Seaside Lounge and walk into downtown. Parking or driving around city hall is a very bad idea

I kept my distance from everyone. Wore a mask. Have been keeping myself extremely healthy through all this pandemic. Lots of running, cardio, vitamin D. Workin on that immune system.

Sure its possible Ill get it, but Im gonna continue social distancing from friends and family still for a few more months probably.

Over a typical weekend, a hundred young black guys are killed across America in major cities. Their lives don't matter as much as George Floyd, since they weren't killed by white cops.

I wouldn't sensationalize this by saying it's 100, but none of the Chicago Memorial Day gang shootings topics got more than a dozen or so posts.

It's really something that people don't care about those incidents...

On topic: I would suggest not going, stay home and stay safe.
