Nobody’s sending them. They’re making a choice to defend themselves and others. If you feel that way, then do what you can to help them. Thank them if you see them. They’re the only ones who seem organized at all, so why not ask if you can help out in a support function somehow?
A phrase from my time spent in rehab comes to mind, “Get comfortable being uncomfortable.” Change won’t happen without discomfort.

Maybe “sending” is the wrong word.
I just think that black Americans have been sacrificed for white lives without the same in return.
They were often used as human shields in war time. Put in the first line of defense. Or sent in first to battle.
And here history is repeating; having them take the biggest risks.
I’d like to know where TF are the white men, the Latino men, , but sadly I already know the answer.
(Not all, but that’s ice demographics).
At least this time the black Americans volunteered. And that does count for something. And they have internal leadership, which is also a good thing.
I just see this group being sacrificed over and over again.
I’m glad the panthers are organizing. I’m reassured by their presence. I’ll support them in whatever way I can.
