Lee Merit is an opportunist. Gloria Allred is an opportunist. Y’all just keep letting them feed the narrative to you on replay with the same scenarios over and over again destined to keep repeating the same pattern of mistakes. Lee is not the only black civil rights and public service attorney in America. Y’all see his name and lights and think that he’s for the people when we find that time after time he keeps serving up his pandering lines of copsplaining bullshyt. What has he done that has any substantial affect on police brutality issues other than tow the line in order to get his 33.3% in legal fees from settlements. Years after Mike Brown , people are still getting killed, in fact, it’s worse bc now they’re coming into our homes while acting like their justified. He’s not necessary, he’s not even a necessity - bc his name is up in lights?? He’s a figurehead - for every Lee Merit, there’s a Johnnie Cochran , Lee just knows how to shuck and buck to make cacs feel comfortable . That’s not what we need.I think you need to look at him like Gloria Allred. Not in a bad way like her but as a lawyer who ensures that your situation gets media attention to keep the heat on the police.
If you don't consistantly keep media attention on these crimes (yes they are crimes by these cops). Its easy for the shyt to stay out the public eye and get swept under the rug or the public stops paying attention.
So this brotha Lee Merit is necessary.
