Say Wat?

Over the weekend, Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., attended a Black Lives Matter rally in Brooklyn Center, Minn., to protest the killing of 20-year-old Daunte Wright, a Black man, by police. At the rally, she encouraged activists to “get more confrontational” if Chauvin is not convicted of murder.



"I hope we get a verdict that says guilty, guilty, guilty," Waters said Saturday in response to a reporter’s question. "And if we don't, we cannot go away. We've got to stay on the street. We get more active, we've got to get more confrontational. We've got to make sure that they know that we mean business."


Politicians are all pond scum.

I don't think she intends "confrontational" to mean "violent" but, yeah, it's not hard to draw a line from her comments to the incitement of violence.

Jury returned a guilty verdict on all counts. For a police officer to be held accountable, it took the absolute, most obvious, most egregious offense and it had to be captured by bystanders.

In the meantime, there have been several high-profile cases where accountability is more in question. Even on the day that a guilty verdict was levied on an officer, the cops killed a black kid again.

It keeps happening, over and over again. When does it stop?
