46. I don't think there's an irony

Apr 2021

Corrupt, criminal cops ARE a major concern, but I don't call for them or anyone else to be murdered in cold blood. The problematic cops, violent cops who attempt to escalate every encounter, the racist cops, the incompetent cops need to be identified and removed from their positions. EVERYONE should be treated with dignity and respect during any physical encounter. There's no irony or disconnect on my end, and I find this post kind of offensive and tone deaf.
