Are you woke or dumb?

Woke is a term used to describe a person who is alert to the racial and social injustice in the world.

For example, black George Floyd died in the course of being arrested by a white police officer and his backup officers. Woke outrage led to convictions for the cops, and George's family was awarded $27 million compensation.

I am dumb. I couldn't and still cannot wrap my mind around woke justice. Are you dumb?

Stop pretending to not understand, it's actually very simple and if you don't understand it why haven't you read an article on the subject to better understand it? Not to mention, if you don't understand their cause, then they couldn't possibly be your enemy.

For decades we, as a country, have been propagated against to believe that "the Police" are always justified in their actions, and "the Police" would never lie in court. These false notions are no longer acceptable and the continued murder of inocent, UNARMED AMERICANS during a simple traffic stop has to stop.
Our police officers are supposed to be here to "serve and protect" the community, but how can we trust them to "serve and protect" us when the last thing their commanding officer tells them before they hit the streets is "Everyone is a suspect." Does this really make any sense to a person with the least amount of intelligence? We are not all suspects, we are hard-working Americans, going to and from work, to and from taking our kids to school and soccer practice, yet the police are treating us all like suspects?
Our police officers are supposed to be trained to "act," not react like a scared kitten. There is no excuse for a police officer to shoot and kill a person because that officer thought a cell phone was a gun. Officers are supposed to be trained. If a police officer goes to work every day fearing he or she might be killed, then maybe they need to find another line of work.
Then there are the very few, but they are in our police forces, who become police officers just to see what it's like to kill someone and not be charged with a crime.
Then there are the officers who can bully and be ready to shoot an American Citizen during a simple traffic stop but are scared to run into a school full of children with an active shooter in the building. That part my friend, disgusts me.
I'm sure there are plenty of "Conservatives" who pretend not to understand, but we are all free to choose our enemies, the sad part is, those who choose their enemies based on the political party they choose, really don't know who their real enemy is.

Thanks for at least reading it Slade, I really do appreciate it. 🙂
@calicuz Here's how conservatives define 'Woke' when they're under oath:

Sounds simple enough, and it sounds like something worthwhile to investigate to reassure the American public.
