Guess I'll be the one to point it out: a billboard won't do shit. Certainly not one that says "BLACK NARRATIVE" on it; what exactly is supposed to be the takeaway there? Or one that says "IS YOUR WHITE FRAGILITY SHOWING?" I dunno billboard, but I do know that billboards that try to make me feel guilty really just end up looking stupid.
The photos of dead black people killed by cops is more like what is needed there. Reminders of the humans behind the names of all these black people killed by cops. But the other ones are just the usual grandstanding by people who think they're being brave. Or they think they're Doing Something, which they aren't.

But of course, this is the Mercury, where a story about a lady opening a business for other people like her is treated like a heart-rending story of overcoming organized oppression against all odds, so hey.

Just checking back in to see if any white supremacists had stopped by to renounce their former views after seeing these billboards. Anyway, while we're waiting, I have another idea that's better than most of these ones: big pictures of the actual cops who do these things.

Like " Here is officer Kyle Nice. He has been found to be in violation of PPB regulations repeatedly, and has only ever been briefly on leave without pay, for which other Portland officers basically rioted. He killed James Chasse."

Or for the guy who killed Aaron Campbell: "Here is Ronald Frashour. He is a police sniper of (however many) years. He shot Aaron Campbell in the back while he was surrendering, because he was out of radio contact at the time -a direct violation of PPB regulations. The worst that ever happened to him was being put on leave with pay."

I'd like to see how those would go over, but I don't have billboard-rental type money. Even if they're kind of childish, they're still better than the examples above. Doing nothing, but loudly and in public, is worse than doing nothing.

And wait a minute: in that last one, they claim "twenty-one dot pound sign" white supremacy groups in Oregon...what? Was that supposed to be "per cent?" And if so, of what? Of all the white supremacy groups in the U.S.? STOP BEING SO EASY TO MAKE FUN OF.
