Truth is, we are all on the same side - The side that believes Police brutality must End, and perpetuators must be punished and victims compensated. But we all have different ideas of how to get there. Some believe civil disobedience is the way, others believe it is with dialogue

Some believe blocking roads and inconveniencing others is a better cost than losing your life while others believe protest is never a licence to deny others the right not to be inconvenienced. Some will like to make this a sprint while others warn it's a marathon. #EndSARS

In this one side that we are all in, there will be moderate positions and there will be extreme ones. It is not for those with extreme positions to think those with moderate views are cowards or pacifiers nor for those who are moderate to think the extreme ones are unreasonable.

There is need at this point to appreciate all the views being expressed by all who feel they have a stake in this conversation. For instance those (like me) advising the need for the movement to have a leader have a point and those who warn against that also have a point as well.

Maybe we can meet at the middle and agree not to have leaders but "coordinators".

Point is, don't malign the other person just because they do not share the extreme or moderate views that you share. We are all on the same side and will all benefit from it when it is over & done
