#AllCountriesMatter
Seriously.
Few things are more asinine that responding to Black Lives Matter with a mealy mouthed "All lives matter" as if someone said Only Black Lives Matter.
Nobody said Only Black lives Matter, indeed BLM is about systemic racism, which is a life and death problem for African Americans, worse for North American First Nations People, and pretty farking bad for everybody who isn't white. Pretty rough for White Catholics¹ in some places too. The rest of the world has joined in support, and in many places highlighted their own systemic racism problems. Usually with the Pigs.
Angry at being accused of perpetuating mindless brutality, in too many places, the Pigs responded with... Mindless Brutality, worse, in some places it is deliberate, premeditated, murderous brutality.
Seriously you can't make this bullshit up, because editors of fiction would reject it as too far fetched. And then you have unidentified, Uniformed Goons, no numbers, often no farking identification what kind of goon they are, menacing the public. We know some are mercenaries neither controlled by the City/Police nor the Military. Some are apparently "contractors" hired by Prison authorities from Academi (the latest rebranding of the global corporate war criminals) formerly known as Blackwater. Goons fanatically loyal to Eric Prince, brother of notorious White House child trafficker Betsy DeVos.
¹ Racism is an imbalance of power amplified through a lens of colour/ethnicity/culture or religion.
