Hey, so I'm not 100% sure on what's going on with the protests and what not because I live in the middle of nowhere in an area that doesn't really protest, however, I do use social media often. I have seen cops do things that I find disgusting, but I have also seen some of the protesters do some things that they shouldn't be doing either. Now I have my own opinions on a lot of this, but I wouldn't doubt it if some of my words would get me hollered at, so I'll keep them to myself for the most part. However, I do have some words that I believe everyone should hear. It only takes one person, be a 5-year-old child or someone in their 80s, to make change happen. The change that happened was caused by one bad cop because not all cops are bad. It's like in school, one kid is on their phone and ruins it for the rest of the class. It takes one person. All of the looting and all the unnecessary violence isn't going to solve anything. It's just going to make things worse. The police need to understand this as well, if they want us to trust them and to listen to them then they should stop beating people down, they should stop with the tear gas, they should stop shooting those rubber bullets. How hard is it to get down on one knee? How hard is it to just stand there and do your job? Why prove all of the people who are hating on you and your job right by using the brutality that they have accused you of? Why stain the name of your fellow police officers? How hard is it to try and change? Why are people so afraid of change? Stop the violence, stop the hate, stop the discrimination. We all bleed the same! We are no different from your neighbour or from the man that lives in the province over!
