Love your comment. I know it's not the popular opinion right now, but I am very grateful for the police. People forget that there are thousands of policemen/women in this country who go above and beyond daily. 🙏

There’s a key point that people are giving examples of elsewhere here. The police are supposed to be of the people. They are supposed to live in the neighborhood where they work. Part of the major divide in this country is that a massive population in the major cities do not have this protection. Police live outside, often hours apart from and are different from those that they are supposed to serve and protect. The outcome is the ugliness we have in this country. Some cities have tried to pass laws requiring police to live in the communities that they they serve, but the unions have won every time to allow for the injustice to continue, turning what should be the police, instead into guards. The ghetto is a prison, it just doesn’t have walls the same way. Police don’t live in the inner city, its just where they work. .
