as a white person w a cop in their family it is very difficult to have conversations about race and police brutality w them. but i’m sick of that. my cop fam member has proudly admitted to racial profiling in scv. has expressed concerns about people speaking spanish in LA...

...a city literally named in Spanish. he’s from the nonjewish part of my fam and has even been anti semitic to my face. i’ve completely cut him off from my life for the last 2 yrs and want nothing to do with him or his actions but i wish i had done more.

i wish i had debated and stood up for what i believed even when i was outnumbered. i was a coward and let him say these things even though i knew they were wrong. if you have any family members like this they do not deserve your love or attention just because you share blood.

think about what history will say about these people and about how their actions affect others on a day to day basis. he is not some poor shmuck watching trump on his couch and cheering. he is out in the field playing out his hate every day. and has all the power.

i guess the point of this thread is to say i’m sorry for not doing more. i’m sorry i can’t do more at this point. i’m just fucking sorry for anyone he may have made feel unsafe when that is the complete opposite of his job description.

fuck police. black lives matter.
