    Everyone is scared of a fight at this point it seems. Only reasoning how it could get this bad before change.

      Yeah but the cops have been scared of a real fight forever. They’re cowards who like to attack people who can’t or won’t fight back, but shy away from anything where they might meet organized resistance; the Black Panthers proved it, long before I was even born

        Exactly why Reagan passed the Mulford Act when he was governor of California.

          If you didn’t, I was about to. California is anti-gun because one time black people had guns and Reagan didn’t like it.

        I met a couple of those OG Black Panthers recently. I like them a lot, they are surprisingly chill dudes that like to smoke weed

        Admittedly I don’t know how much fight will be left in me when I’m in my late 70s and early 80s
