I’m sorry but #DefendThePolice is such a sad slogan. You want US to defend YOU? Low energy messaging
I just don’t understand bootlicking. Youve never been caught in a speed trap? Never had some smug thumbhead I’m with a badge boss you around? Some of these guys make $200k+ for what again?
Especially for dudes who were socialized with toxic masculine gender roles, as I was. You’re rallying to make sure big strong badge daddy gets paid 5x what your kids’ teachers make? That’s what makes you feel safe? Totally cucked psychology
Still amazes me that local corporate media was able to turn the SPD chief retiring with a maxed-out 6-figure pension at the height of a legitimacy crisis in local policing, into: “You gave the Black police chief lady a sad.”
