Polite society
I can't believe I'm saying this, because I hate guns, but if cops are going to pretend that being afraid of black people killing them is their reason for killing black people, then we need to arm black people with all sorts of guns and ammo and give them all bullet-proof vests (with chainmail underneath for protection from knives) and gas masks to protect from tear gas and mace, to give those cowardly pigfuckers something to really be scared of!
Hell, while we're at it, let’s buy a bunch of old tanks and give them to black people in various cities. Protests against police violence would be a hell of a lot more interesting if all the armed and armored protesters had a tank taking point. Maybe the tank could even run over a few squad cars in the process. Fit it with a working cannon, start taking potshots at the police department building.
The NRA needs to get behind this. I won't believe they really care about the second amendment unless they start advocating for arming black people and other people of color, too.
