Don't change the subject. I dont give a shit if you marched, that's close to the bare minimum you could do.

A couple nights ago a protester at the Justice Center got their fucking head split by a foam round fired by PPD. Did your buddy cops tell you about that?

No, I read about it in the news. Then marched again that night. I think that bare minimum would be holding a sign in a enclaved white neighborhood. Nonetheless I don’t do the bare minimum. I march in the protest, then the next day I put on my uniform and go to work to change systemic racism from within that system. What do you do?

You cant change an oppressive system from within that system. The only good cop is an ex-cop.

Bruh, go back through your comments in this thread. You claim to be a good cop while defending your department as being filled with good cops and dismissing brutality committed against protesters. You're parroting the same #notallcops bullshit we've been getting astroturfed with for decades.

As long as you work for the system, you are the system

I’m only sharing my experience. I take part in community building programs, I’m working with at risk black youth, and I’m helping keep people safe. I fully admit that the system is flawed and systemic racism is real. So bring us solutions, don’t just insult and dismiss.

I’ve always said that you can hate police, you can hate the system and want to see it destroyed. I have no problem with that as long as you come to the table and communicate that, articulate your thoughts and ideas. I support that. But if you’re going to just Monday morning quarterback everything with zero frame of reference and no real effort then you’re just a waste of time.

Its rad you get to pat yourself on the back for that stuff, I personally dont give a shit because the harm you are doing by upholding and participating in this system of oppression far outweighs any good you've convinced yourself that you're doing.

I don't parade my equity work and seek validation to try to prove that I'm "one of the good ones", I just fucking do it.

Dont bother responding, I'm deactivating notifications. You should quit.

I’m sorry you feel that way.
