[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pretty sad.  These times are difficult for police officers, but I suspect black police officers are having an even harder time.  [/quote]
That he was accused of wanting to be a white boy is awful. I remember back in school that high-achieving black students were ridiculed by other blacks for "acting white." That's pretty sad...[/quote]

I remember that too. Ridiculous. [/quote]

It still goes on today.[/quote]

So question...are we going to take this story in its proper context and realize that it is only this officer's personal experience or are we going to jump off the cliff of conjecture and come to the conclusion that this is the narrative of every single black cop in the country?

It is indeed one man's perspective - at least one man who's brave enough to share it with the public.  There are others who may support him but who are too scared to come forward.

Funny you should say that because speaking of we will never know...
There's this code among cops that requires them to kind of keep their personal opinions to themselves if those opinions could be interpreted as counter or contradictory to being supportive and in solidarity with their fellow boys in blue - it's a kind of a cultural thing and in all likelihood it would probably prohibit individuals from coming out and saying that they don't have a problem with Black Lives Matter and are, in fact, strong supporters of the movement.  I know it sounds completely improbable but you it's certainly possible but, like you said, we will never know.[/quote]
