Good Cops are out there too!

Some comments can be truly unfair. Any time a white person's arrest makes the news, you get these comments that the person, if black, would be dead. No, they don't kill black suspects every single time. And the cop involved might not have done anything wrong. Every single cop is not Derek Chauvin. And every single cop does not see others doing wrong and say nothing about it.

This job involves split second decisions.

And most of the time, it's mundane stuff. People act like a cop has to be able to handle perfectly things that may never happen in an entire career. The rare person who resists arrest is not something even big city cops will be expert at.

Making reports on DUIs, being called because someone had a fight with someone and left their purse or cell phone at the house and they are refused a return of it, even helping someone who ran out of gas right before getting to a pump at the gas station, or someone trying to report a theft of stuff they left next to the trash can on the curb.

And black arrestees not resisting arrest. But sometimes informing the cop on the way to the station of what racists they are!
