We've been hearing that since forever. When exactly is the appropriate time to stand up against injustice?

@Michael JeffreyAddress what he is protesting and not how he is doing it and we have a discussion. There is no wrong way to silently, non-violently voice your displeasure with government entities, especially when they fail to deliver on your behalf.
You OBVIOUSLY don't know what rights are if you think there are times and places when they should or should not be exercised

who's backup account is that ? "Law and order" ...these guys think they're slick with how they use some of these words. We know exactly what that means in this context.
Closet racists are whack.

The irony in this whole Michael Jeffery thing is that he is what's wrong with America and he's too dense to ever step back and realize it. It's sad really.

I understand what he is protesting, however it is not tangible and measurable, therefore it can never be objectively fixed.
If he was protesting the over representation of black males in the justice system, that is measurable, we have evidence to show how to reduce those numbers through evidence based intervention.

And it is even sadder that he comes out the gate assuming that people who support Kaep's actions are involved in criminal activities.

white supremacy is not one specific thing
racism is not tangible or measureable

"You're not protesting right/the right thing."
The same people that pick apart grammar in a debate rather than address the points being made.
You can save your response, I don't waste my time with concern, grammar or time wasting trolls.

If you're so brilliant, feel free to explain the concept of systemic racism and a detailed strategy on what is "acceptable protest"
Shouldn't be any problem for a genius

It isn't measurable or it isn't measured?
There is no requirement to report police use of deadly force in this country. In addition, in the event of a deadly incident, cops get a lot more leeway than regular citizens in the aftermath. When cops are found guilty, sentences are generally lighter than sentences given to non-cops for similar crimes. And let's not even mention the collusion that exists between PDs nationwide and their respective DAs, which has a lot of influence over whether a police officer case is going to go to trial. Don't tell me this stuff is not quantifiable and fixable.

Pig socks and "inequality" can't be eradicated, they are feelings.
The gender wage gap is an excellent example. Jennifer Lawrence wants men who star in movies for 56 mins. That make 126$ million dollars to be paid the exact same as women who star in movies for 56 mins. That make $126 million dollars. That can be done.
Making men and women equal in acting can't be done, because people can always "feel" they aren't being treated equally.
There are solutions if one can objectively identify the problem.
