This sums it up perfectly in my mind.

Police forces don't need less funding they need more.
- More training
- More qualified people
- More technical skills
- More pay
- More professionals who can approach and handle situations without escalating

Communities need more also.
- Better leaders
- More focused programs
- More accountability for others in individual communities

I also see the side of officers who are worked to death for minimal pay.

I also empathize with the job itself. One minute you're helping a lost child reunite with a frantic parent, the next you're in danger of losing your life.

There's no other job like it and I believe many of us take that for granted.

And police brutality has nothing to do with giving black people free stuff and preferential treatment. But we all know that's the ultimate goal of 99% of the people pushing for "reform".

"More than 85% of police contracts in major cities around the country include language limiting oversight or discipline of officers, according to an analysis by Campaign Zero, a criminal justice reform advocacy group."

They act as if they are above the law because in some instances they are.
A little research will reveal many more examples of the ones listed below.


Officers even have been rehired after being fired for high-profile fatal shootings. In Miami, an arbitrator in 2014 ordered the police department to reinstate detective Reynaldo Goyos, who fatally shot an unarmed man in a shooting that a department review board ruled was "unjustified."

In Oakland, officer Hector Jimenez won his job back in arbitration in 2011 after being fired for fatally shooting two unarmed men in separate incidents within a year, shooting one in the back.

Why not just skip that and give them the best jobs? Even if they're not qualified?

How about we just give the your job since you've treated them so unfairly? Or how about your kids' potential jobs when they get out of college since they were born white?

I am coming around to the BLM movement. But we have to stop living by double standards with the degrading lyrics of black music. The messages aren't the same as a rock band, country, or Blue grass. Black music glorifies violence. If I'm supposed to change my mind then I need something in return. Change the messages and we can change the culture to a better future for everyone. And quit rioting for God's sake. That is not a good message either.

Bill Cosby was making great strides calling out these bad cultural influences before he went to jail. People were actually listening and discussing his moral views and how to bring the black people up with open and honest discussions.

For every action there is a reaction. White, Black, Hispanic, Native American, Man, Woman, Child,the list goes on, don't comply with the cops they have the right to use force, and if they have dealings with or have dealt with an individual before they have that right. I'm not a cop fan, never have been, but I'm not an idiot either, I comply, right or wrong, weather I like it or not . Everyone has a choice.

Yes. Because all cops are like that. All white people are racist and all black people are oppressed. All Asians are good with computers and/or know martial arts. And as for the Dallas Cowboys wanting to put the names of the five cops that were shot dead on their helmets? No way. Not on your life! NFL must be uniform and it can't change. You and those like you are the reason racism will persist. You don't think for yourself, but just follow what is deemed to be acceptable. Are there bad cops? Yes. Are there racist people? Absolutely. But here is the rub; people are allowed to be racist but are NOT entitled to use that against anyone to harm them or discriminate when it comes to employment.
Take this little piece of advice or don't, it matters little to me...
Try and think for yourself, do your research and don't accuse people of the very thing that you are doing, which is judging a group of people based on the actions of a few individuals.

So that the message is clear let's all agree that Black Lives Matter too!

I know it's not a popular opinion but Police Lives Matter to me.

In every group there are good and bad apples. A small percentage of blacks are trouble makers. And a small percentage of cops are bullies and/or racist. However, I dare you to say that blacks aren't prejudiced more than any other race.

Free education for all blacks is my new motto.
