Had to respond to a friend who accused me of being blind to truth about the Karmelo Anthony case because of my profession. My response to him and anyone else with this mindset is as follows :
“The most disrespectful comments usually start with “With all due respect.”
No. I am a Black man who happens to be a police officer. My law enforcement JOB, doesn’t minimize my opinion. It actually strengthens it as I have get to see things from all perspectives while you are limited to what you are told to think as a Black person. You are conditioned to only see things through a racial lens first. The same lens I was indoctrinated to see things through until I saw the other side. Choosing logic over emotion doesn’t make me less Black or make me forget what it is to be Black.
While you are led by your feelings, I am enhanced with the knowledge, understanding and practical application of the law.
Regardless of my complexion, 2 + 2 will always be 4. The sun will rise in the east and set in the west. It will be hot in the summer and cold in the winter and….
If you stab someone for just pushing you, you will be charged.
Some things are just what they are and have zero to do with race but personal actions and choices.
At the end of the day, if you don’t want to end up caught up in a system you feel is corrupted, think before your actions so you don’t get caught up.
If someone cared enough about Karmelo to tell him this, he’d be free right now.”
