🚔 Its time for the riots to stop. We heard you, now we must implement change. 🇺🇸

They say every generation has a defining moment & I consider 9/11 as definitively ours. I see these riots as having a significant generational effect as well. We’ve been here, we’ve seen this before, but this is likely the worst in modern history.

No more “riots don’t solve anything”. If you want them to go away FOREVER, hear the peaceful protest & don’t ignore until it gets to this point that all hell breaks loose 7 the message becomes lost. At that point, the lines of reason become blurred & the division grows deeper. Elect politicians, any party, that have this focus on their platform:

— justice reform
— racial equality
— police brutality
— & police protection

Don’t support politicians, especially presidents who run, hide, politicize, & suppress the voice instead of fixing the problem at the systematic level. We need leaders & despite what you think, we don’t have leadership right now. Just pandering, self-service messaging to the wrong side of this argument. A side that can’t look past individual actions to a systematic problem.

You have to make this choice or these events will continue to happen. We need leaders more focused on solutions than about running, politicizing, & finding scapegoats. This isn’t about party lines, this is about competence & temperament. Any of the other 16 republican candidates would be handling this better with compassion & competence. This is exactly what we saw coming & feared when real conservatives spoke out against Trump. If you support him, demand better out of him. We have a long road ahead of us to fix this country & it’s only getting worse because of its leadership.

Thanks & prayers to all good law enforcement (the majority) that are stuck in these trying times.
