Just had a very heated conversation w/ old friends regarding Rioting/Looting and George Floyd.
First off, In Florida...they won't break so much as an egg.
And I don't care if the lefties feel like wording can be twisted or whatever...maybe to THEM because it's what they do. Tear up some stuff HERE, and you're going to jail....and nothing stops it.
Don't tear up people's s**t, protest peacefully as the Constitution allows, and PAY for your TV's, don't wait for someone to DIE and just go GET one.
The cop. Guys, I'm as Right Wing, Middle Aged White Conservative as they come. And the world has put all of us in a defensive stance where racism, and reverse racism come into play so the knee jerk reaction is "aaaaah.....he was a drug dealer, medical condition, high on crack, convicted blah blah blah...
BUT.
BUT BUT BUT BUT...
If you are trained as Police Officers are trained. And I'm HARD CORE BACK THE BLUE, before we go there, I have a cousin by marriage who's a high ranking officer at Bay County, My Grandfather and my 2nd cousin? (Dad's cousin) was a Police Officer....so..cop famiy.
Anyway...if you are trained as a cop....and after you have a dude subdued...he's on his face...you cuff him and get the f*** off of his neck.
Period.
If you can't do this in 9 minutes, with help standing all around you then you should resign and go apply at Golden Corral or Jiffy L**e and do something not so physical.
Racist? Bully? Power Cop? Who really knows....but he's SOMETHING this guy. Personally I think he's the guy that woulda done it anyone with any physical stature because he probably got shoved around when he wasn't a cop and this is payback.
Remember this, while you're working it out in YOUR head how you feel about Police Officers....
NOBODY hates a dirty cop more than a good cop. Remember that, and there are a few bad apples in EVERY barrel. Whatever it is YOU DO for a living, there's someone in your career path...maybe in your office....or maybe it's even YOU.....that's dirty as hell, plays the system...dirty.
Be kind to people right now, and take color out of it. There are people in other countries that would kill YOU because you're American, and could give a damn about whether you're Black, White, Asian, what the hell ever....
Y'all better throttle back a little and start taking care of your own before the United States of America is like 1980's Russia or China.
Love to you all -
