So, given that, at least in the forseeable future, (1) racial division appears ineradicable, (2) guns are plentiful, (3) the police are heavily armed with considerable political support; and that the result of this set of conditions is that Black people are regularly popped off and generally kicked around: should the Black people of Cincinnati consider forming armed self-defense militias and committees of correspondence? It seems that moral suasion, protests, demonstrations, voting, and lawsuits don't do the trick, whereas rioting and looting do get a certain amount of attention, indicating that these more closely approximate the natural language of the established order.
