I am beginning to think that

[gopiscrap]

the police are becoming nothing more than a unionized KKK with blue uniforms instead of white

2. "He"? Who? What?

Yes, I know there is systemic racism in the police, but what now?

I'm sorry if I don't watch TV the way you do.

3. Becoming?

I think it's been that way for a long time, they just aren't keeping it on the down low anymore.

4. I am presently visiting my daughter in a small town in Indiana.

Last night’s local paper had a page with pictures of the local police force members and a large banner stating Thank You at the top.

My husband was a cop. I know that job is often difficult and scary, including for members of the officer’s family. I pray for their safety and hope that they return to their families after their shift is over, as I believe we all do.

But I wonder at a newspaper page that prints a big thank you just days after a very bad cop was rightly convicted for murder. Does it really mean Thank You, or does it actually imply Fuck You to the court and jury who convicted him? Maybe both. I don’t know.
