This keeps happening and each time the issue is life and death. A
starkly violent issue comes to the center stage and suddenly a large
number of us respond. Now we have this present moment, where racist
police and court systems have exposed the government and corporate
elite; this evil unbroken since slavery, this collusion of
fear-mongering and profiteering. We must not forget this, as we so
often have with these historic justice events. We can’t rotate this
issue away, enroute to the next one. We can’t default back into
conveniences, entertainment and on-line dating.
These murders are a symbol of abuse of our loved ones and neighbors and of systematic violence against the powerless, and it is done by racist bullets and by climate change and economic strangulation. Soon, with time running out, we will have to stop rotating issues and establish unforgettable ones... This is the place to start. This issue can’t be put in the past by putting a few cops in jail and changing some rules. This injustice helps keep the focus on all injustice. Time is running out. We can create the uprising that overthrows this oppression.
