Twin Cities Democratic Socialists of America organizer Robin Wonsley speaks about the killing of George Floyd by US Minneapolis police and the subsequent Black Lives Matter uprising that has swept the United States.
She discusses the postponement of the trial of the officer who killed George Floyd, the grassroots nature of the protests with no central leadership, corporations arguably feigning support for African Americans while suppressing wages and working with the security state.
The militarisation of US police, what would happen if Black Lives Matter protesters used the 2nd Amendment to arm themselves like white anti-lockdown protesters had, Minneapolis’ history of using bombings against communities of colour when they rise up,
The ‘civil war’ happening in America between the state and the police vs black and brown communities and the working class, the link of capitalism with police brutality, Joe Biden attempting to gain political capital from the protests and the prospect of another 4 more years of Trump.
