100%
A man who hates me and views me as inferior will not be sympathetic to my plight. We’re battered and arrested for even daring to protest a murder. “Good cops” in the streets shoulder to shoulder with these people. This is on them, enablers, fence sitters, and the willfully blind and silent.

Ultimately I think we're beyond the idealism of something like rehab
Ideally, yes you would want to give everyone fair trial and a right to be reformed etc. But again this pattern of abuse of power and the evil system continually being exposed.. on camera no less.. nothing changing... idealism goes out the window. The system isn't dealing in fairness or idealism or even-footing so why should we continue to be naive and overly optimistic?

My grandfather was a cop, RIP. He was one of the few that did his job with integrity. Hell even the communities he policed looked out for him. I remember him bringing back snacks and random things people would give him during his patrols.
Your last sentence hits home fam. My grandfather stood up for what's right but in the wake of corruption the changes he tried to do fell to deaf ears. I even remember him losing a job because of him speaking out, luckily he was able to land another position at that time.
Most people are scared and don't know what to do since the powers controlling the judicial system has a strong pull. Everyone here talking but once your job your lively hood is in jeopardy lets see how you act.

I don't think we should at all. I can tell you I am way beyond reason at this point. I am on the radical end of the spectrum when I comes to what I think we should do with certain people.
I hear ya loud and clear.

Not worrying about rehab, for one. Extreme measures would be the only avenue to real change, it may not happen in our lifetime. Mobilization and cohesive strategy from city to city state to state would be a must
I don't want to delve too much into that, I'm just stating which attitudes aren't relevant nor productive to this entire situation. This includes compassion or trying to in anyway defend the cop or the system

There was nothing in his tweets that I don't agree with. I wish he would've mentioned that Karen is a racist slur and how can we stop racism if we use that slur? On another note.

I am happy he did his job the way it should be done and it’s great he stood up for what was right. Treating communities as those to be protected vs making it your job to hunt down criminals is the difference in proper neighborhood policing.
You have to take losses sometimes for what you believe in. If you stifle what is right to keep yourself in good standing you are a coward, an enabler, and an accomplice. I will never tell my child I shut my mouth and turned my head in the face of injustice.
My livelihood has been in jeopardy for my beliefs and actions before, from things I’ve said in response to veiled racism to actively protesting in my city. If it weren’t for the praise I’ve received for my work from leaders and people in my state I would be unemployed. I will get to the money somehow, I’m not worried about that. We have the hustler spirit.
You do what is right no matter what. I spoke with my grandpa years ago about activism and civil service. He told me to take a stronger position or role if I could. I told him I was afraid of what could happen to me as a result.
He asked me “what more can they do?” and that was it. I’m willing to take the L for my people and what I believe in. I do not fault those that don’t agree but the more people willing to take losses for the long term goal the better. You cannot change the system by ignoring it.

Of course you don’t see my point of view. As long as the oppressor and his supporters are alive? The oppressed will always be in danger. Those people need to die, period. Nothing will change unless they are gone.

What? About me? This thread is about the injustice faced by Black people, not about white racists who want to voice their opinions on what Black people should do, like you. All white people are racist due to the system that supports you. The only solution is for the system that supports you, to be destroyed, and for all of those who support the system of white supremacy, to be eliminated. That is the ONLY solution to all of this.
