Since when? 1968? I would bet neither of us were able to experience police back then, but by all accounts things are much better than they were during the Civil Rights Era. To suggest otherwise really undermines the sacrifice and brutality civil rights leaders like MLK, John Lewis, and countless others went through. Even with improvement over the past 50 years, accountability is not full and things aren't perfect - neither here in Pittsburgh nor around the nation - but things have changed

The part that confuses me the most - they don’t accept the help. They have excuses for why they can’t do what is suggested. So it’s not like they’re scamming folks out of money or anything. They’re just pretending to be in a bad spot for… internet sympathy? It’s not karma farming, that’s obvious enough. It’s just weird.
