    Yes, obviously I know those things.

    I’m speaking about the population as a whole, not you as an individual. Of course there are people who are fighting the good fight daily, many of them working behind the scenes. I’m not talking about them.

    I’m talking about the people asking why no one is doing anything. The ones who haven’t realized they need to join others and take action. The ones who think they just need to wait this out and vote.

    Everyone has their own circumstances, privileges, skills, resources, ethics, etc. Everyone can resist in some way or another. I won’t claim that many of these ways don’t require some personal risk or sacrifice, but to imply that all of them will be met with police brutality is not only false, but serves to make people feel hopeless and give up.
