White people have to really ask ourselves whether we& #39;re willing to physically confront a cop who is doing what Derek Chauvin did.

If we& #39;re not willing to risk our own safety by shoving a cop who& #39;s slowly murdering someone, then all this anguish and handwringing is for nothing
From the excuses in the comments it appears that the answer for some of you is no, you& #39;re not willing to risk your safety to intervene and while that& #39;s not surprising it& #39;s pretty fucking disappointing
Honestly I am disgusted with some of the responses here. You could at least think about how to prep yourself or find creative intervention strategies instead of pre-emptively looking for excuses why it& #39;s too dangerous to save a life. No one said it would be easy.
Interrupting contact even for a moment might be enough to prevent a death, even if it leads to injury. You know you& #39;re not at risk the same way Black people are and it& #39;s bullshit to pretend otherwise. Yes, cops kill white people too. No, your odds of being shot are not the same.
