So do firefighters, nurses, doctors, military service members, and probably a host of other professions. They don’t feel the need to try to constantly remind us about how dangerous their profession is on a daily basis.
Cops chose their profession. Being a person of color isn’t a choice. And people of color have been abused for over 400 years in this country. We kidnapped them and forced them into slavery, built our country on backs of their forced labor, and we’ve been mistreating them ever since. That is a HUGE difference than people who chose to give tickets to people for not wearing their seat belts. FUCK THE POLICE
That’s why the DO matter. They CHOSE to put themselves in harm’s way to protect the innocent
