I don't have any sympathy for any narrative that is based on race. Right is right, and wrong is wrong. A person is not more right, or more wrong if their skin is of a different color.ninjabread wrote:The more I read stories like this and that murdered Sheila in Minneapolis, the more sympathy I have for the #BLM narrative.
What angers me is that police don't get arrested and charged when they commit a crime. They get placed on administrative leave, or suspension, while their superiors investigate and decide whether or not they followed procedure. IMHO the double standard of accountability influences the mindset of those few LEO who are at high risk to commit these kind of crimes. And yes, they are crimes. Crimes against the society which they have sworn to protect and serve. Until cops are willing to instantly call a crime a crime no matter whether the perpetrator wore blue or not, this kind of problem will continue. That may be a narrow minded and uninformed opinion from someone who has never been LEO, and has no family that is LEO. But the double standard is glaringly obvious.
Rant over.
And the next time I see an LEO who needs help, I'll jump to their aid. I will not paint them all with the same brush. Doing so would make me no better than the racists who see everything through colorized lenses.
