"Justice is not achieved by trespassing on private property, and it's not achieved through escalation. It's achieved by examining the facts in an impartial and unbiased manner. That is exactly what we are doing and will continue to do in this investigation." - Attorney General Daniel Cameron.

Interestingly enough, justice has been achieved only by trespassing on private property and/or escalating the situation for black people in America. Every civil rights victory was achieved either by being somewhere we were not supposed to be at the time, or pressing against the establishment.

The sit-ins, the protests, the marches, the race riots of the 60's AND 90's, the literal fights, the segregated towns, etc, were all places we were escalating situations in and/or trespassing. I find it funny how the first black Attorney General in Kentucky history wouldn't acknowledge those facts. To take it a step beyond race, since that seems to be a blinder for many, we can talk about the Boston Tea Party, the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, both World Wars, etc. LITERALLY ALL OF THESE EVENTS CLAIMING JUSTICE WERE SPARKED BY ESCALATION!

Somebody please inform AG Daniel Cameron of the words of Dr Martin Luther King Jr from his Birmingham Jail cell, "We know through painful experience that freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed." He seems to have forgotten his roots, and the fight for freedom that continues to happen today. Send him some milk so he can think properly.
