This is a system where prosecutors threaten suspects with the death penalty to extract guilty please, a system that contains 22% of the world’s prisoners, who are disproportionately black, and a system where police officers can kill black children and face no consequences.

Sorry, you're right, your stated desire is much more specific-- you want Minneapolis, as well as a number of other major cities, to start to burn, and then for cops and troops to mow people down in the streets with machine guns.

Abolitionism in the North has leagued itself with Radical Democracy, and so the Slave Power was forced to ally itself with the Money Power; that is the great fact of the age.




The triumph of the Democracy is essential to the struggle of popular liberty

You aren't making any sense.

You'd rather there be more riots so you can condemn the ones that already happened.

Let's not be ghoulish, not the least because an outbreak of disease in confined prison quarters is tantamount to a cruel and unusual punishment and one not imposed by the system. It's sufficient that justice will be imposed and upheld.
