NEW. From Whitney Lynn, a lifelong Republican from Arizona: "There's no way I can support Trump. During these past 48 hours, Trump has...shown a total disregard for human decency...a total lack of caring for the people. It's harming our democracy. This is about what's right."
"not all cops are bad"
The main issue is that cops are part of a system that is inherently corrupt and engage in practices that put themselves above non-cops, which allows constant abuse of power. Cops need to be held accountable for their actions, especially on black ppl.
Your job as a police officer is to detain and arrest suspects, not choke them out. Your job is to take suspects to jail so they can see their day in court, not choke them out. Your job is to gain trust in the community you live in, not choke them out.
