I’m including this bc “MAYOR: [quote]” with the face of the police chief wasn’t doing it for me but yeah she’s actually Like That
Goddamn, when are you going to get it through your skulls, THE POLICE ARE NOT ON YOUR SIDE! THEY NEVER WERE AND NEVER WILL BE. The main function of the police is to enforce the ways of the white supremacist capitalist system, stop fucking being easily impressed by performative speeches. Having a woman in charge means nothing if that woman is a part of a violent, racist, sexist, classist, and homophobic Establishment.
You realize how close minded you have to be to say “all cops are bad”? You sound just like the racists you hate so much. None of these are absolutes and you need to stop playing that game because it’s dangerous
