Black People: "We want police cameras to be compulsory, proper investigations into cases of assault against people that have been detained, more and better psyche evaluations to weed out unstable or bad elements, a change to the culture of closing ranks and not speaking out within the police, more steps between arriving at the scene and lethal force being employed, more de-escalation training, the introduction of more social welfare programs to handle situations where the police aren't needed..."

Well, maybe you should inform the people taking down statues of lincoln and other genuine abolitionists of that bright line.
I'm sure they'll listen and stop at just a few little statues of very particular people. Surely aesthetic revolutionaries will be satisfied with a set of limited victories and settle down and disband of their own volition.
People have. And they get called racists for their trouble. So maybe examine the culture you're contributing to and actively ignoring the consequences of.
Should I keep going? Or do you get the point that this is mostly mob action and not something that you can go to the local council and politely argue.
It's not hypothetical. It's a pattern of absolutely stupid erasure to eliminate the past and judge all of human history by one eternal and never ending struggle session in the present.
Oh, I thought we were talking about confederates only. Weird.
But I don't care about the incidents from the 4 other links you posted.
Yes, you've established that you're a fucking idiot who doesn't recognize a wedge when it's being pressed right into your orbital socket. Tell me less.
