    as soon as you say the phrase “blue team” you betray a bit of a misunderstanding. don’t feel bad, people work really hard to perpetuate that misunderstanding. the blue team doesn’t exist. the red team only kind of exists. the people you unconsciously split into the “blue team” and the “red team” are on the Money Team, and we’re not.

          Dude right?? Our state is legislating against police brutality. And doing it with tools, and creating a safer space, rather than trying to get the good apples to snitch and risk their lives and careers.

          The ebony alert sounds like white people grandstanding bullshit at first but there’s a good point… if all day you see that and rarely see amber alert… you’ll realize why black people are begging to be seen and the whole point of BLM. Plus it’s first hand experience, not pushed on people, so they can draw the conclusions themselves without getting defensive
