When I talk about #Gunreform, I am also talking about it for our police. These trigger happy people need to have their guns taken away. Not to mention it's becoming difficult to tell the white supremacists from the cops these days.

And no, I'm not going to listen to the "good cop" bullshit. There is no such thing as a good cop so long as they all swear an oath to uphold laws that violate the rights of a large portion of the population.

"Bad cops" are simply put on desk duty or paid leave, only to be found not guilty of a crime after being reviewed by wait for it....other cops.

You want to prove to me that there are "good cops", first show me the "bad cops" actually being kicked off the force and jailed for their crimes. Show me that the white supremacists that are KNOWN to be in the police force are kicked out.

Until there is a massive overhaul of not just the laws that are in place to harm anyone who isn't rich (and most often also white), until the cops stop acting like a bunch of racist assholes as a majority, until they are demilitarized, I will continue to speak up on this.

My own husband has become paranoid to even leave the house during certain times of the month because the cops go after him for existing while not white. I shouldn't be sitting in my car going, "Thank god I'm white...." and thanking my white privilege when I go out to run errands.

My skin color shouldn't = a higher level of safety when dealing with cops.

You want to show me that cops can do good, then show me that they're WILLINGLY changing and demilitarizing. Don't point to a single whistle blower in a sea of silence. Don't point to forced change.
