Put on a uniform and walk a mile in their shoes, then you can criticize. You can't generalize about all of them, most are honest, hard working men and women just trying to do their job. No, i'm not one of them but I do respect the work that most of them do because they are rarely seeing people at their best, yet they run towards the danger not away from it!
@spjennifer uhm. We can criticize without walking a mile in their shoes. It is our right to do so. Written in the constitution.
I also do not want to walk a mile in the shoes of a person who would justify what happened to George Floyd and all of the others. Nor the ones who stand by and watch. They are mot good guys either.
While I agree that this is a generalized statement...so is yours. You have no evidence to back your claims.
I respect officer of the law who uphold the law in ethical manners. If the amount of black men and women who have been killed by the hands of police is not an indication, to you, that there is systemic problem..then you are willfully ignorant.
@JaggedLittlePill Whoa, hold on a second, I never disputed that African Americans are being killed nor would I ever defend the actions of those who did kill them or your right to speak freely. I simply stated that you can't say that out of the 750k+ law enforcement in the US that the actions of say even 50000 of them means that all Police are racist. Yes, some of them definitely are but there are many good cops who are not racist and genuinely are there to help those in need so shouldn't be painted with the racist brush. Yes, there is a problem with racism but it isn't unique to Police Departments, it exists at all levels of society and in all jobs...
