hollow IMO.
1. The very flag and anthem of the country he is protesting recognizes that his right to protest is given by God, not man. It is even written down. Irony.
2. The oppression he says he is highlighting is that of criminals that have committed, in many cases, violent crimes against other people of color.
3. His premise is based on a false narrative. Hands Up, Dont Shoot is and was a lie.
4. There is no solution to the "problem" that he says exists except no longer patrolling black neighborhoods and streets and arresting violent offenders.
