[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with your son.  Mr. Rogers and his advice to seek out the “helpers” no longer applies.  [/quote]

OK, so you won't be calling the police if someone breaks into your home? You won't be calling the police if you see or hear a neighbor beating his wife? You won't be calling the police if you drive by your elementary school, and the windows are smashed in?

I demand justice for George Floyd. But I'm also not such a hypocrite as to say that all police = bad when I know damn well who I would call if I were robbed at gunpoint again, as I was four years ago. [/quote]

Sadly we can't choose which cop show's up when we need them; a "good cop" or a Chauvin. If a person black person made the call, and your robbery was in progress, it's a coin toss as to who would be arrested or shot.[/quote]

I do not doubt or dispute that. My neighbor down the street was killed in his own home by the police; the neighbors called when they heard him breaking into his own apartment. He was drunk, walked home, broke into his house because he left his keys at the bar. He passed out in his bed, and did not answer the door or respond when police knocked. He sat up, startled in his bed, naked and unarmed, and was shot and killed.

I'm not saying All Cops Are Good. I just think it is total hypocrisy for the sudden outrage here (where were you after Sandra Bland? Treyvon Martin? Why wasn't that "enough is enough"?) and for the false assertation that cops are not our friends when your ass will call them in a hot, hot second if something scares or worries you. [/quote]
