The three words “I Can’t Breathe” refer to what some police brutality victims, like George Floyd, Eric Garner and Manuel Ellis, said before their untimely deaths at the hands of law enforcement.
What if you replaced the world police with doctors? It’s not fair to generalize an entire group of people, despite their occupation or any other creed. That being said, fuck any officer, supervisor or department who supports oppressing a marginalized group to benefit rich people. It happens alarmingly regularly in our country and we need to target the groups that spread it. Its not usually the case though-people join public safety jobs because they want to help people, but feel kept down by rules about reporting every decriminalized offense they see happen and getting in trouble when they don’t. I mean it about the hours too- when we were understaffed, I would work long shifts and my mental health deteriorated as a result to the point where I quit because I couldn’t respond to emergencies because of sleep deprivation. As for the court stuff, I agree that courts need to scrutinize police more. We need police reform but we can’t let it divide us- I implore you to listen to police and former police alongside marginalized groups for the facts.
Sure, don’t generalize cops.
I’ll stop the moment they stop generalizing minorities, teenagers, and poor people.
Until then, dick yourself in the mouth so I don’t have to fucking hear your dumb ass speak.
Sincerely,
Grandson of a former police chief that quit because he literally couldn’t fire enough people to de-shit the force he took over.
I do not appreciate the insult at all but I understand where you’re coming from- I agreed with your point in my previous comments.
Sincerely, a former police officer.
