Stop Resisting!

 

STOP RESISTING!

It's the rallying cry of every racist cop, and every apologist for the same.

And let me tell you, it's unpatriotic as hell.

Our Founding Fathers resisted, and when they wrote the Constitution they added the Second Amendment to make sure we would keep resisting.

It was not foreign powers our Founding Father feared, but the insidious creep of a police state that did not respect basic civil rights.

Stop resisting say the right-wing white folks now.

Comply. 

Shuffle along.

It's not a big thing.  

Have you ever noticed that the same folks tut-tutting about "those people" carrying signs and marching ("stop resisting") are the same one who are always quick to beat their chest about the Second Amendment and their right to carry?

So let me say it clear and plain:  I support the right to carry. For black people.

I support open carry for the folks most likely to have their civil rights violated by a police state.

I support black folks and Hispanics and women and recent immigrants who want to "Open Carry" handguns to their State Capitols and loiter near the parking lots where state and federal legislators and their staffs park their cars.

You want to support the Second Amendment and give folks a Constitutional lesson? That's how you do it.

The average Trump-supporting NRA member is more than OK with blacks, Hispanics and gays getting beat up by cops. That's what police are for, they think: to protect white, male, heterosexual hegemony.

“Stop resisting.”

Fuck that.  

Stop taking orders from people wearing masks, whether that’s the KKK or ICE.o

Resist.

And be prepared.  Be very well prepared.  

And announce that you are prepared.  

Because bullies tend to tap the brakes when they know the people are well armed with guns and Molotovs, that the trash trucks and snow plows will block the streets, that the fire hoses will be turned on the Proud Boys, and that 38 states have “stand your ground” laws that give you the right to use lethal force to protect yourself from armed masked thugs without identification and without warrants.
