Re: Kneel, or you're racist!
What we can't do is...
Claim that all cops are bad.
Claim that excessive use of force, including deadly force, is only against minorities (we're all in danger here).
Ignore that there are many bad cops.
Ignore that department policies, politics, and the justice system often works in the favor of bad cops.
Ignore that something should be done.
Ignore that any one of us could find ourselves staring down the barrel of trigger happy cop's gun for one false move or misspoken word over some minor infraction.
We're Americans. They work FOR us. They aren't a standing army to police and punish us. Somewhere along the way they've been turned into a standing army to police and keep the American people walking the line, a line that gets narrower and narrower with every new law and regulation that chips away at personal liberty.
Sadly, I'm more worried when being pulled over by a cop on a bad side of town than I am changing a tire on the bad side of town.
So, let's all remember to keep waving our flags and singing "God Bless America"... but above all, remember, no sudden moves... or you could easily wind up dead.
