Story: Ben & Jerry's condemns fatal police shooting of Daunte Wright
Questions:
1) Who gives a rats ass about the opinion of whomever is running Ben & Jerry's twitter account?
2) is there actually a thought process wherein this leads to ice cream sales?
3) How many Ben & Jerry's flavors are named after Black or Brown people? I can't think of any.
4) Company's don't have opinions (and don't actually speak). CEOs of companies do, so do spokespersons for companies. Is it to much to ask for some actual standards in these stories?
5) Why are all those damn kids on my lawn?
Story: Ben & Jerry's condemns fatal police shooting of Daunte Wright
Ice cream company Ben & Jerry's on Monday spoke out against the fatal shooting of 20-year-old Daunte Wright, who was shot and killed by a police officer during a traffic stop.
The company argued in a message posted to Twitter that the criminal justice system "can't be reformed" while asserting the police shooting was "rooted in white supremacy."
"The murder of #DaunteWright is rooted in white supremacy and results from the intentional criminalization of Black and Brown communities," the tweet read.
