in light of all the recent events unfolding in America, i once again deplore the current state of American policing. public safety + service is vital for society, but we really need to find a better way. fuck all the shitty cops out there. fuck all the cops who just watch and do nothing. fuck all the cops out there who are scared of public questioning, public recording, and true public service. fuck the cops who flocked away from Koreatown and other minority-heavy areas during the 1930s LA riots. fuck the cops who are repeatedly brutally treating protestors in America. no, kneeling on a woman’s neck for protesting is not appropriate. no, trying to get you and your buddies’ horses to “accidentally” trample protestors is not appropriate. fuck you all who have made this profession in America one of the most hated and vile. fuck the systems that encourage the corruption & discrimination of this public institution. not that my words or frustration affect much. actions speak louder than words, and somehow, i need to find where i can best leverage myself to be the change i want to see. i hope the good in this system and other systems influencing it can also continue to make positive, effective change from within to the best of their abilities. but until then, to those who deserve it, go fuck yourselves
