I’ll never know what it’s like to be black in America. But, I know the issue over racism in USA wasn’t solved after abolition of the Civil Rights movement. But if people are rioting, it means they’re pretty pissed off and there needs to be some conversation here...
...I don’t condone the looting. But, I understand why there are protests and rioting. This “cop” murdered a human being. The justice system will see to him being locked away. I just feel bad for the Floyd family, all the good cops out there, and everyone who is hurting.
I just don’t want people thinking everyone who wears a badge is racist or a monster. That’s not true. There should be no room for a-holes like Derek Chauvin in civil or military service. Unfortunately, every selection process is imperfect and bad apples will get through.
And I’m tired of everything being “one side vs. the other.” It’s time for ppl to sit down and have real - maybe uncomfortable - conversations with themselves and others they may not agree with. Talk about politics. Talk about race. UNDERSTAND where the other side comes from
