It's hard not to be bitter about what feels like an unnecessary death due to a massive influx of unfamiliar police officers present for the protection of people whose political careers are built on making the lives of Black and Brown Milwaukeeans worse. It's hard not to feel bitter about the first example of violence is by outside law enforcement despite so much attention and scrutiny paid to anti RNC protestors who remained peaceful. It's hard not to feel bitter when the horrible attempted Trump assassination leads to the political class to call for nonviolence but this latest shooting is emblematic of the kind of state violence that poor folks and nonwhite folks endure in this country regularly, with no acknowledgement that it could also be viewed as political violence to wreck people's lives with inadequate support, police repression, and deprivation of economic opportunities.
