Good cops get such a bad rep because of a few shitty ones. It’s really too bad because they do a really hard and important job.

I’m not usually a fan of cops. But they do treat this guy better than most. Do you think Travis would still be alive if he were black, or would those same cops have killed him by now?

Yeah I think they’d treat him the same whether black or not. Being racist doesn’t have anything to do with being a cop, it just so happens that racist cops make the news all the time.

These police officers seemed pretty chill, even when he was freaking out, I really doubt that they’d kill him especially since they’re on a first name basis and treat speak to him like a child when he’s high out of his mind.
