It’s too much. Another “training officer” with 26 years experience grabs the gun instead of the taser and pulls the trigger. The cop forgot or lost track of her deadly weapon? Not buying it. It’s better than 400 years of this shit now. Coulda done the job right and proper after the civil war but no.
Then we “wonder” why POC’s particularly have this “issue” with the police. It’s because the chances are good that if as a POC you interact with a member of law enforcement you end up in pain or dead. You are fortunate to get disrespect and a fine. Y’all can argue amongst yourselves over who has it the worst.
The facts remain. Going to cop for help on anything is like asking death to the prom. It is profoundly fucking stupid. It is going to the Predator’s space ship to knock on his door and tell him he’ll be getting his ass kicked. And you are going to steal all his cool toys. You’d be dead long before you even finished taunting.
This shit is so past due date. And until those assholes KNOW there will be changes nothing will every happen. It matters. All of it mattered. Now how do we fix it? What? I though you’d know.
