| Yep, don't gas our protesters! |

Cute performance. What is Mayor Bowser doing to actually improve the situation?
Increasing funding to MPD?? Vetoing decriminalization of fare evasion? No meaningful steps for oversight of MPD? Yeah, cute performance. |

I'm no fan of Muriel Bowser, but this was a good moment.
Trump is trying to vacate every move towards sovereignty our city has ever made. He's been giving our city the middle finger even more so than the entire USA. I see this as her standing up for us and for black lives. As much as the organization Black Lives Matter would like to own the phrase and even the movement, Black Lives Matter is bigger than them. They should be grateful for this and use this action to leverage more power. Criticizing this move? Makes them look petty. |
It's petty to want meaningful action? |
It's petty to not acknowledge steps forward in your direction. |

BLM the org should say something like:
We love seeing "Black lives matter" boldly proclaimed. We look forward to working with Muriel Bowser to create DC policies that make this a promise the city will fulfill rather than an empty gesture. |
Let me guess you want to defund police in the literal capital of the United States. |
Will I get to ride the Metro for free to work daily? if it doesn’t matter if I pay there’s no way I’m paying. This will save me $250 a month! |
|
It’s a good gesture. We want more. |
I'll believe your performance when you support people being dragged out of their cars and handcuffed for cheating tolls on a toll road or not keeping their registration up to date. White people too. |
|
Not good enough for BLM. They want the police departments eliminated.
Look at the upside - doing so WILL finally stop the gentrification of DC! |
A White Executive at my firm used to live in Lansdowne and she worked downtown. She had no issue jumping on the road to Dulles each day as it saved her time and money. It really bothered me that she saw herself as someone who was above the rules that applied to everyone else. |
Link to where they criticized the move? |
