All cops are not bad, you cannot blame the actions of few on an entire group. That's like saying, some black man broke into my store, burnt it down and suddenly I think all black people are bad, which is just not the way to think about it.
If this whole topic is in relation to George Floyd. George Floyd, has a criminal record. I'm not saying what happened in that video constitutes the right for the police officer to act that way, infact that police officer deserves all what is coming for him for not following proper procedures. But this is just not about black people itself, its far wider than that, involving literally every community in the world. I'm all welcomed to listen to other opinions, but please do not blame the actions of one cop on all cops.
I 100% agree with you to not blame the entire group for one person's actions. Black people being stereotyped as thugs, ratchet, unintelligent, etc and not all black people are like that. Same goes for the police force. The police are stereotyped as being power hungry, brutal, and abusive, but not all cops are like that. Some genuinely want to protect the citizens, but there are others who are corrupt and shouldn't be on the force in the first place (how do they get hired, bribery??) and maybe want to see the world burn, who knows, I can't read their damn minds. People are ignorant enough to only listen to one story and paint a group of people in that same category in the bad light and that's where all the stereotypes start to form. That's where police brutality comes in. One cop does something to harm a citizen whether it be on purpose or by an accident, but people don't read the full story and start chanting police brutality. Yes, it's a thing, but can you blame all cops? You can't if not all cops be doing that.
To also add, all the robbery in different stores doesn't make anything better. Why are you robbing stores? Robbing stores doesn't help with the #BLM movement (in my opinion). You're only doing this because you probably think that if the police are at the protest, I can steal a bunch of shit. Um, no, that's not how it works. Some people who rob the stores are doing this for selfish benefits and not truly helping others who want to see change. I'm not picking sides, I'm just stating facts, at least what I have been seeing.
The thing I will never understand is when people say "
aLL LiVEs mAtTer". Well if they did, we wouldn't have the #BLM movement now, would we?
Sometimes I ramble to the point of not making any sense, lol.
