Everyone wants police departments to be better, but not all police departments are corrupt. Everyone wants schools, churches, political organizations, and every other institution to be better and less corrupt, nobody is arguing against that idea.
There are bad apples in every situation. As a social worker with local police departments, I see the good that police do every day. You think that police are the source of America's problems, I say they are about the only thing standing between us and total annihilation.
When people here in Utah began publically protesting after George Floyd's death, what did they do - did they peacefully gather and demonstrate? No, they attacked public buildings and destroyed property, they dumped red paint all over public spaces and smashed bus windows and set fire to people's cars and houses and looted businesses.
If that's the world you want then that's the world you shall have. Me, I'd rather live in a well-policed state with some modicum of sensible law abiding-ness going on.
Jesus fucking Christ.
Finally you get my point and agree with me. I'm glad to hear it!
I love that!! Another great pic, thanks!
