Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot that people that don't support BLM don't care about black people. I mistakingly tried to humanize black people to get people to realize that you shouldn't trust police.
So let me tell some stories that all the racists out there will relate to. Upper-middle class white people!
So I was at the chiropractor, and this white dude sits down next to me while they're doing the electro-muscular stimulation. They nurses hook the electrodes to his arm, and he has a gnarly ace on his arm that still looks pretty fresh, usually I've only seen them do it in the back. I find that weird, and we're gonna be here for a while so I ask what's up.
So this guy works for his father, and his father owns an AC repair company. They have a job to fix an AC on this trailer. It's hot AF here, so they decide to do it memorial day so the daily doesn't have to go longer than necessary without AC. So he's under the trailer fixing the AC, and his dad is at the truck getting tools.
Meanwhile, a black guy robbed a nearby gas station, and police are looking for him. They've got search dogs. Police sees this guy under the trailer. The cop claims that he gave the guy a warning, but the guy didn't hear a warning, the neighbors didn't hear a warning, the father didn't hear a warning. No one heard a warning.
He feels pain in his arms, looks down, sees that the dog bit him. He grabbed the dog's snout and holds it closed, not knowing it's a police dog and not wanting to be bitten again.
The police tells him to let the dog go or he'll shoot the man. The man does a he's told. The dog bites him again. The father hears his son SCREAMING for obvious reasons and runs over. Sees his son covered in blood being attacked by a police dog.
The police realize it's the wrong guy and get the dog off (along with a chunk of this guy's arm). Then the police stand around and do buying as the father tries to use his belt to stop the bleeding.
He was in intensive care for days, they didn't think he'd survive, and if he did they definitely didn't think he'd keep the arm because the dog tore an artery. The guy made a full recovery, kept the arm, needed a lot of painful physical therapy. the whole time his main concern was what if it were kids? Not even concerned that he's an innocent victim of police brutality.
1) the suspect they were looking for was black. They were gonna use deadly force on a black man (don't tell me that's my deadly force. This guy almost died.)
2) they mistook a white man for a black man. They had no clue who they were telling their dog to attack.
3) the cop was never reprimanded. His chief thinks he made the right decision given the circumstances.
4) the police gave no warning.
5) the police didn't give a shit that this innocent man that they attacked was bleeding to death in front of his father.
All because this guy and his father wanted to work on a holiday to fix someone's AC because it was 100° F outside. He's got PTSD and a fear of dogs now. This guy was raised to always respect the police. How much do you think he respects them now?
There, white people. Now do use see the issue with police brutality now that it applies to someone like you? Just a white guy trying to do his job?
Police brutality isn't just a one race issue. If you let it slide when police kill black people, you set a precedent that allows them to kill anyone. White. Black. Male. Female. Young. Old. Anyone.
