I think I can guarantee you that virtually no one thinks all police officers are bad. There are a few bad ones, but, unfortunately, they are protected by the institutions and often get nothing more than a slap on the wrist for murder.

Yeah, and they weren't protesting anything like murderous cops that go free. They were complaining that they couldn't have a beer at the bar and other minor things.

If only it were only criminals who are brutalized by racist cops. Becoming a cop is a choice and they know what they are getting into beforehand. Being born with black skin is not a choice. MANY decent, law-abiding, productive black people have been harassed by racist cops for merely having black skin.

Would you want to trade places with them? I wouldn't. I wouldn't want to have a panic attack because I fear I might die every time I see flashing lights coming up behind me when I'm in my car. Oh, no! Is a tail light out? I hope this guy doesn't kill me. That's what black people deal with every day of their lives. Do you?

Show a little sympathy for people less fortunate than you.

Well, then why don't the good ones demand that the violent racists be punished for what they do? If they think they are being diminished, then they damn well better do something about it.

I'd like to tell a true story.

When I first came to TV, the neighborhood men got together once a month for lunch and invited someone to come speak. It was a sheriff's deputy one month. He suggested we call the Sheriff's Office to request a free safety assessment of our houses. I did and a deputy came to my house. He showed me some things I could do to make it more difficult for someone to break into my house.

After that, he warned me to stay east of the railroad tracks in Wildwood because people were dangerous on the other side. He then said, and I quote verbatim, "Now don't get me wrong, I don't think ALL minorities are bad." There is no doubt in my mind that he was as racist as they get.

How would you like to be one of the (I'm sure) many good people living west of 301 knowing this racist was walking around with a gun and a hatred for them?

Now don't get me wrong, I don't think ALL cops are bad. ;-)

But there sure seem to be a lot of them here in central Florida. :-(

Law Enforcement is the glue that holds our country together.

When I see disrespect for ALL Law Enforcement, It makes me sad & anxious for the country.

Every group of people have rotten apples, this is what occurred with this case.

It’s extremely disheartening to see the total disrespect for ALL Law Enforcement.

Remember:
Most likely someday you’ll need Law Enforcement in some capacity.

God Bless America!

YEP!:(

Just down the street...not that long go (2014).

Fruitland Park KKK Cops Fired (put robe on here)

Well WE were supposed to be that way among the flower children in the 60’s and 70’s. What happened?

How so?

If I posted 50 times a day on this forum lecturing people, would it make me any less complicit?

I didn't know that making noise granted relief from complicity.

Plenty of others here have done, and keep doing it all. You don't know all about everyone.

Steve

Nope. That's your idea of complicity.

Webster's definition is: "Association or participation in or as if in a wrongful act."

Just because someone remains silent, in no way makes them complicit no matter how much you would like it to. Silence does not equal association or participation. Silence is simply the absence of sound.

Well said, thanks.
