I live my life where I have friends of many races. I live my life where I respect and treat everyone as equal. The various types of racism can hurt anyone, of ANY race when it happens to them, so we need to evolve past that. You should feel that way because it's going to take everyone to view something together to fix it, and not that it hurts someone of a different skin color more than others either, bud. And maybe we can finally fully remove it from our society.
Yes, I have friends and co-workers who are a "minority" and talked about it.
How upset would you be if you saw a pic of a Black American officer doing the same thing to the same race of people, or are they converted? When I see a Black American officer taking a White American into custody, I usually think "I wonder what crime that guy did", not "it's racism".
Calling me sheltered, then basically saying ALL LEOs (ALL) treat other races unfairly insults me personally because I was never racist. But when I read "racism is institutionalized", I should have probably moved on.
Also if 1 Molotov has been thrown, that's enough to warrant escalated awareness and force. There's no magical number of Molotov's that need to be thrown to use "x" force. We know multiple were used, and that's all that matters. If they don't have an exact number, who cares. lol.
Anyways, I hope tomorrow settles down, for ALL sides.
EDIT: I don't really like using the word, as once again that word is used in a different way that it's true meaning, a lesser population/demo, so I throw it in quotations. It's a quirk of mine. Once again, I have friends and co-workers of different color throughout my life, and I look at them no better nor worse than myself.
That's in your opinion. I have been anything but sheltered, but that's none of your business to why I'm not. My POV, thoughts, opinions are worth no more, or less than your own bud.
