I fully support disbanding and defunding all police. Then let's see how quick the idiots demanding that back track.....Oh wait, they already have in Seattle, Minneapolis, etc.
Guess what? There are some really bad people out there. Thank goodness there are still men and women brave enough to confront the bad ones. Must be really easy to criticize the split second actions of those in danger when you never have to be in dangerous situations. Key board warriors are so cool.
And yep, I did the job for thirty years so I am not impartial about the profession. If you can tell me who is armed and who is not, while refusing commands, then you need to join the profession and make a difference.
Have mistakes been made? Absolutely. Are there some that shouldn't be officers. Yep. News for you. There are bad teachers, lawyers, accountants, etc. Thankfully the vast vast majority in each of those professions, including law enforcement are quality individuals.
I have met thousands of officers. I know of not one who woke up and said, "Gee, I want to go shoot someone of color today. Yep, that will make my life really fulfilled." You have to be a moron to think that any officer wants to put their life thru absolute hell by having to shoot someone, and especially someone of color.
I wonder how many black lives have been saved by the actions of LEOs because of action they had to take. Those mean racists cops.
