It won't change the society, this thing will go on forever and ever...

I don't think so, but something happen nowadays compare with previous years. If the government doesn't regulate the general use of weapons in the country for private and public reasons, things are difficult to change.

Don't know

Unless it’s forced, no

Of course not! In the same breath they murdered MakiahBryant 🙄

The answer is no.

No, but ending qualified immunity will.

Is the author of this piece named George Floyd?

Yup its going to make every police officer 2nd guess their actions, putting lives at risk.
