I just want Kilroy to fill me in on what they want. He says it’s clear, but can’t explain it. Weird

What's there to explain?
They clearly stated what they wanted starting at the 40 second mark of the video. Are you deaf?

Dude just tell me. Please

Just watch the video. It's clear that you didn't lol. It's right in there clear as day. Does seeing MT's face trigger you that much?
Posted on 6/5/20 at 11:45 am to JohnnyKilroy
Lol. It’s so obvious you can’t explain what they want

I always try and vote in a mayor who will promote a good police chief who can control their men.

Because by narrowing it down to a subset of the population and ignoring it happens to anyone else isolates your cause
And while advocating your cause, you tell white people they have to denounce their “privelage” in order to fix it, even though brutality also happens to them
It’s An absurd way to go about it. You won’t find someone on this site who has argued against police more than me. No knock warrants, dui checkpoints, etc etc are an excessive use of force. They are supposed to work for us the people, not the other way around.
Police worship is over the top and too many people fall in line. However, even though I feel that way and do what I can to change peoples mentality, I am somehow part of the problem for being white
Nah, that’s not how you fix issues

If the NFL had balls, they'd release a statement that says "We are a sports league. We care deeply about our players and stand ready to assist them with on-field health and safety issues and listen to their ideas that would help improve the game or NFL as a league. For off field issues, we advise that our players contact their elected representatives."

If most of those players on that video donated 80% of their salaries to the black communities, they could make a bigger difference than the NFL making some PR statement as they have asked. I wonder when they will offer time do that.
ETA: Total salaries of all NFL players in the 19/20 season was 5.2 billion. For social justice, all NFL players could take a pay cut or 50% and give that 2.1 billion back into their communities. It would be great to see them make change themselves since they have the means instead of asking others to do so.

video did that happen? I must've missed it.

I’m surprised they haven’t demanded transfer of ownership of the teams (modern plantations) to the black players (modern slaves).

I've contacted my representatives to back the bill being pushed to end qualified immunity, and to pursue legislation to end the unionization of government and civil service employees. I've also contacted my local police and sherriffs office to inquire on how they will look to raise their training to ensure officers and the public are safer and more trusting, and pledged my backing of an appropriate mil dedicated to this measure. I also contacted my mayor and councilman to ask them to push the police for the same.
What have you done?
