I know a lot of you don't agree with this and me saying it will cause the losing of followers but I honestly couldn't care less. It must be said.
"There are Good Cops out there"
Yes, the things that are happening are absolutely terrible, unjust, inhumane, and all in all completely evil.
Yes, I agree the system is extremely flawed and corrupt.
Yes, I also support the idea that it may be a little too late to correct the system with the current level of corruption being so deeply rooted and the best thing to do would be to start over from 0. That means, abolish the police and bring up an alternative.
Yes, corrupt cops need to face consequences, be judged with an iron fist and pay for the damages they've caused.
Yes, their freaking UNION must be taken down. It does more bad than good.
Yes, I support 100% the BLM Movement and everything it stands for. The protests are necessary to finally create awareness and action towards a fair cause.
BUT
No, simply being a cop doesn't automatically translate to being bad nor evil.
No, not all men and women in the force are racist, nor taking advantage of the place of power they have.
As in every single job out there in the world, there are bad people and good people.
There's actual human beings that joined the force because the truly want to do what they're meant to do: Serve and Protect.
There's actual human beings in the force that are fighting within the system to try to make it better, and to protect the people that are being hurt and being taken advantage of from the corrupt cops.
We have actual allies within enemy lines that are trying to help us! Do not belittle the work they're doing.
Judge every person individually. With each person's actions.
I'm not a religious person but that's even in the freaking Bible!
Matthew 7
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, `Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye."
In every group (with some obvious exceptions (Nazis)) there's both good and evil. There's good teachers and bad teachers. There's good doctors and bad doctors. There's good business owners and bad business owners. And yes, there's good politicians and bad politicians.
I am not against cops. I am against BAD COPS and BAD POLICING, and against a BAD and CORRUPT System that no longer works.
That's all I wanted to say.
If your sensibilities are extremely offended BY THE TRUTH and you still chose to live in a world of JUDGEMENT and HATE...
There's the door. Good riddance. See you never. Have a good life, although that's unlikely as you're probably an extremely bitter and easily influenced person but still, wish you the best.
For the others that decide to stay, thanks for understanding and letting me vent. I still have faith in humanity, I still believe there's good in most of us.
Hope you can all do the same.

P.S. Any offensive, rude, anger filled anon messages (aka the coward's way) will immediately be erased and blocked. Your words do not have any effect on my well being, nor in my beliefs. So save them.
A good cop would resign and be fighting along side with protesters who are calling for Breonna Taylor's murderers be brought to justice.
Blue lives dont matter, a career is a choice. If you stay in a place of authority or power that is abusing marginalized groups and enforcing racist profiling you are a bad person because you are not aiding the change to a better society.
You are literally preventing it.
Black lives matter.
Get your centrist garbage out of this tag.
The excuse of "following orders" or "doing your job" is not free reign to step on someone's neck or racially profile or snatch protesters into unmarked vans.
Tell Tamir Rices' mom that there are good cops out there.
Tell George Floyd's mom their are good cops out there. Tell Breonna Taylor's mom there are good cops out there. Tell Elijah McClain's mom there are good cops out there.
Do you see where I'm going with this????? Do you see it yet???
ACAB.
