Okay, so lets say youre black and you live in an older section of Dallas, Texas, and its Sunday morning and you are in church. And when you leave church
.
"An Oak Cliff church that proudly flies a banner reading Black Lives Matter had nearly 1,000 unwanted visitors gather on their campus Sunday.
Pro-police riders jammed up the churchs parking lot and surrounding streets sparking a counter-protest Sunday night.
With flags flying including at least one Confederate flag the mostly white visitors called themselves the Back the Blues Cruise, said they were on a mission to support police.
This was the largest attempt by the rightwing to confront Black church goers in their own parking lot. They have been trying it at smaller black churches in east and north Texas..."

The group said it got permission from church staff but Haynes said the church did not approve the caravan's stop. He added that Friendship-West did grant use of the grounds to a Black Lives Matter demonstration by local undertakers.

The fact that there were cops escorting them and allowed it to happens shows the systemic racism present in the police force here in Texas.
White racist don't need permission to intimidate POC and get away with it. This is why change is necessary.

They've become the armed wing of the extreme RW white supremacist movement, and they're not even trying to hide it anymore.
But it's just a few bad apples.

Everybody knows these guys are a lot more pro racism than pro cop, right?

The cops are showing they will not protect us if things get bad.
