okay so I would like to State on the fact that every white person is born with privilege no matter what the circumstances are. and not all cops are racist. Acab that's what I believe in, cops are either not racist bad and a crooked way something happens you have very few good genuine cops but sometimes they just turn into something else.

Em I understand that we do need a police but if you look at the different ways that different countries have police most police don't even carry guns in different countries because they don't need to result in guns.if you are in a situation where you think you're going to get hurt you do not automatically need to go for the gun you can go for a taser you can go for the baton you do not need to go for a gun that can kill you instantly from where you have shot and even if it didn't clear instantly police officers continuously shoot they shoot six seven or 17 times no matter the circumstances that happen because they felt threatened when they had no reason to be threatened.

you said there will be more unjustified murders without the police but how about you think about this with the police you have more unjustified murders that the police have committed and those police officers have not been fired they have not been taken to jail they have never been on the death penalty they have never been on death row because their police officers they're automatically goody two shoes they're automatically great in the circumstances of being in the government just because you are in the government does not make it right for you to have killed somebody that was innocent all along.

white people can support black lives matter white people can do whatever they like to help the black people in this community because we need to be heard. We need to be completely known as a social construct that is okay, not as something that's automatically bad, not as something that's always dangerous because of our skin color.
kids growing up automatically have the pressure of their skin color on them on top of everything else that comes with school that comes with going out that goes with anything involving interaction with other people because of their skin color which shouldn't even be a thing because we are all human we did not get to choose our skin color we did not get to choose what we wanted to look like.

I will say this until I die and I will probably put it on My grave white people can support us as much as possible which would be so helpful so that people can understand that we're human beings but you can never tell me that there is no such thing as racism because you have not experienced it you have not been in a life or death situation you do not walk out of your house thinking that you were going to die so you may not tell me that you're not being racist when you actually are because you're talking to me in a manner that you are being racist the words that you say.you cannot tell me how I feel or what I've been through if you have never been in an experience that I have been you cannot tell me that you have been in the same situation out of me because every single time you have not look at your skin and see that you are socially acceptable you are going to be with privilege for the rest of your life if you have kids they'll have privilege because you are white and you were born with privilege.

That's what i've always wondered! Why the hell does someone's COLOR affect how they will be treated? it doesnt make sense to me, and I dont think it ever will.
as much as america can be a good place with wonderful opportunity, it is also a hell to live in at times

I respectfully disagree. I've looked at a website (I'll link), and it shows that the number of black people who were murdered by the police force is rising. which fucking sucks.
"Sadly, the trend of fatal police shootings in the United States seems to only be increasing, with a total 999 civilians having been shot, 226 of whom were Black, in 2020. In 2018, there were 996 fatal police shootings, and in 2019 this figure increased to 1,004. Additionally, the rate of fatal police shootings among Black Americans was much higher than that for any other ethnicity, standing at 34 fatal shootings per million of the population as of December 2020."

The police system is racist at it's core, and the police receive minimal training. Not all law enforcement officers are bad, but the ones that are are getting away with murder, rape, and countless other things without consequences. It's disgusting. The fact that people who are supposed to protect us are the ones killing us, is fucked up. and it needs to stop.
