Showing Original Post only (View all)We must NOT buy into the narrative that a cop's life is worth more than any other [View all]
It is fascist.
Cops do not protect you and me.
If you think they do, let me take you on a demonstration.
Cops defend property.
If you are a rich white straight male person who benefits from the status quo - and there are plenty of them here - then, fine, support police.
But if you're not -
then listen to the narrative.
"When a police officer is murdered, it tears at the fabric of society."
Bull!
When a Black person is killed by police because of the color of their skin,
THAT tears at the fabric of society.
Where is the aid that Obama offered to NYC, where is that being offered to the families of Garner and Brown?
And I wish people would stop beginning every sentence with "I condemn the killings of the 2 police officers."
Such a stupidity indicates that there are people who think the killings were a good idea.
No one but the shooter thinks they were a good idea.
So no need to protest declaim and be defensive.
