Are Comments About Police Outrageous?

A friend of mine suggested some people do a ride along with a police officer to understand what they deal with on a daily basis. His comment came based on the outrageous things he sees, as far as people's comments and theories. He doesn't want people to feel a certain about cops because of how they're portrayed in the media. 

     A person's ideas and theory about police is based on the expectation the have for the police force when dealing with everyday people. The general understanding is, cops are trained to properly assess a situation. With so many black people being killed by police, we doubt that cops are utilizing their training, or they're targeting us.

Let's take the Sean Bell situation. Who the hell established that he was armed and selling drugs? Why did he have a detective tailing him? 

     Eric Garner situation. We already know he was being harassed. He did not look like he was a kingpin for selling cigarettes. Tamir Rice, a lil kid playing with a toy gun. By himself. The walmart dude was on the phone swinging the gun around.

     Its not cops and robbers every situation. I spoke with a cop before about the mentality. And she said, they're overpaid peer mediators. The job is settling arguments. That's it. That cop is a good cop. Already in the mind frame that she is not here to catch an enemy or catch a crook 99% of the time. She is a Mount Vernon Police officer by the way. So she has legitimate reason to be super cop.  

     I would never call comments outrageous. Its more terrifying that cops still don't understand what we're saying. When we feel we're being attacked, they stick their chest out and tell us do what we say and you won't have any problems. 

     Funny how cops and white people can say that to blacks and minorities, but can relate to movies like iRobot when machines takeover and use that as a reason we don't need artificial intelligence, because you know the robots can rule over us. Taking our freedoms away.

     Why are urban areas where minorities live over-policed, but the further you go out into the suburbs, the less police you see? Because cops are given a false sense of duty. They are told to protect and serve, but are trained to protect their life at all costs. Filled with fear that someone may have a gun. And the most important thing is to go home to their families.

     Riddle me that.

     Also, the conversations about good cops need to stop. Seriously. Its irrelevant. A man that beats his woman does good things too. He can pay her bills, keep money in her bank account, and take care of her 3 kids by 3 different men. But bringing that up doesn't change the fact that the man is beating her. 

     Let's stop victimizing good cops by bringing them up and using them as collateral. A good cop is a good cop and shouldn't be offended by the reaction toward the police. The unity of police shouldn't trump whether you're a good cop or bad cop. If you're a good cop, you shouldn't stand behind your badge. If the badge is justifying violence against black, then why would we trust you? How long should we trust you? 

     Example, my mother convinced me that if I'm riding with friends, and they kill someone, and they find out I was with those friends during the murder, my silence doesn't stop me from going to jail. Even more, by not coming forward I'm guilty by association. What makes police officers individually so different? 

     By not standing up, and even standing by, you're aiding and abetting. Good cops are being used as pawns. Stop with the "not every cop is a bad cop, there are good cops". No there aren't any good cops if they stand by and don't react to this foolishness. 
     The point here is cops with guns need to be retrained, and maybe they need to reconsider who they give guns. Or just decrease policing. Rely on neighborhood watches.
