I dont usually watch them but they're the only way white people can see what police are like

but they dont really care what police or other white people are like because its not them.
you have to be a special kind of evil to be ok with another human or race being oppressed while you on your way to starbucks.

This is true but again it's the only way. Without the vids they don't believe in police brutality at all. At least with the vids they're forced to deny what they can see is true.

Muhammed Ali was once told that Elijah Muhammad taught him that whites were the enemy. He wisely responded that no one could teach that whites were the enemy more than white people themselves by acting like enemies toward black people. They enslaved, raped, murdered, insulted, degraded, and discriminated against us since we got here.
Similarly, no one can convince us to abandon our love for our own people like our own people. We tell our women to respect themselves and we get called misogynistic for not approving of their whorish behavior. We tell our men to being strong and walk upright and we get called phobic for not approving of their effeminate faggot behavior. We tell our children to learn and we're called bitter and boring for not approving of their ignorance. We tell our people to do for self and we get called hotep, toxic, and for the first time I've seen on this forum, "conscious clownball".
This is how the revolution dies: distraction and disillusion perpetuated by black agents of white supremacy. You don't have to front line every fight or argument but shut the hell up when those that are, are doing so on your behalf.
These are the 85%, easily led in the wrong direction and hardly led in the right direction. Fuck their foolishness though. Keep pushing.

Shit is not even respectful of the the lost ones families unless they give consent like Emit Till Mom.

I think the videos need to continue to be shown. Without it you lose the severity if the situation because words aren't as effective. People need to see it, so it becomes harder and harder to be in denial about what's happening.
Ray Rice is a good example of how much more impact a video has than a story about what happened. The outrage came after everyone saw it.

This ain't a tough guy competition. You won't find too many people who will willingly subject themselves to images of violence let alone people literally being murdered in front of them. What kinda ass backwards thinking do you have to say that not wanting to see people being murdered is sensitive?
White people KNOW the shit is fucked up. They just play dumb about it. Look how they act whenever law enforcement starts fucking with them.

we never had a system that was truly rehabilitative so we cant say what will happen or what wouldnt happen. also rehabilitative doesn't mean someone rapes and is out a week later lol

everything people need to see is right infront of them.
a pretty lie vs an ugly truth.
