I’m black and all I can say is ‘meh’ to all this BLM junk. A lady in Canada was killed, where’s her protests? You noticed that this BLM just support GUYS that commit crimes, not women, not gays, not transgenders, not the disabled. If you can’t support all then shut up
@sapphirewyren Have you heard of Breonna Taylor? She was a African-American EMT who was killed in her own home in a “search warrant” conducted by Louisville police on suspicion of housing drugees. The cops who shot her were under a “no-knock” warrant, which is used to make arrivals unexpected and reduce the chance of evidence being destroyed. Normally, with this type of warrant, the cops are supposed to quickly identify themselves before breaking into the house, but in Taylor’s case, they allegedly did no such thing. Many of the protestors on the streets are also demanding justice for her death as well, seeing as none of the officers were charged for her death. However, the FBI has opened up an investigation into her death.
Also, as someone who previously preached “all lives matter”… I still stand by that claim, but now is not the time to be preaching this. We’re talking about an issue regarding racial injustice targeted towards one specific race. If a house was burning, the firefighters can’t spray all the houses in the block, right? They just go for the one house. We’re dealing with something that has a pattern that needs to be stopped.

I used to want to be a cop, a homicide detective to be exact. I thought it would be a good way to help people, and give them peace of mind.
That was until now.
After what happened with George Floyd, I would be embarrassed to be a cop. I’m starting to question why I wanted to be in the first place. I know there are good cops, but I’m starting to realize the bad outweigh the good, and even the sometimes the good cops wind up being bad.
The system is broken, it always has been.
This needs to stop. All of the lives that have been lost just because of their skin color is disgusting.
Your job as a police officer is to save lives, no take them. Your job is to issue justice, not create fear among a community.
Your job is to protect and serve, not kill innocents.
If a man tells you he can’t breathe, you listen. And if you were half the officer you were supposed to be, if you weren’t a fucking asshole who doesn’t know how to do your job, he would have never been in that position in the first place.
“Please I can’t breathe. My stomach hurts.
My neck hurts. Everything hurts.
They’re going to kill me” ~George Floyd
George Floyd did not deserve to die.
The system is corrupt, it’s broken.
It always has been. It needs to be fixed.
I am not black, but I see you.
I am not black, but I hear you.
I am not black, but I mourn with you

Your life was snuffed by oppressors whose intent was to murder you for no reason. Does this make any sense?
