i was young and sweet,

Oh, hard to watch, is it? Hard to watch these Black teens retaliate? Hard to watch them do, to an oppressor, exactly what said oppressors have done to Black people for centuries? Hard to watch a cop on the receiving end of a beating for once? I hope that Roman Candle was heavy.

Was it equally hard to watch when, a week ago, an Ohio cop assaulted the 15 year old Kaelynn Reynolds? Threw her to the fucking ground, shoved her against his car, pressed his knee into her, and filed a charge against her spitting at him?!

No, we know what this man's doing. He wants to rally violence against these kids, who have all, no doubt, already been racially abused, profiled, and harassed by the police. Look at his language. "Horrifying." "Severe." "Mob."

I don't know what sparked this, but those teenagers have my full support, and I hope they'll be okay.
