I give him credit for pushing this right now. It's what Keisha Lance Bottoms said. This is how you fix it. This is how you protest.This is what past civil rights protesters fought to be able to do. Get off the fucking streets (an activity which threatens to help Trump win) and get on this wagon instead.

Now, high profile athletes are saying business as usual is unacceptable. That lends considerable legitimacy to the push for #JusticeForJacobBlake & the larger effort to reform policing in America. It also raises the question, who will be next to stand up? https://t.co/IFkyfFQNpb
