I Believe... [COPS]

...that anyone using social media to reasonably castigate the police these days must immediately stop calling 911 when their cable is out or they can’t get a nine-piece Chicken McNuggets.

...that anyone who proudly displays a “Blue Lives Matter” sign anywhere must immediately admit that January 6 was treason and the Capitol Police should have shot more than one of them.

...that a policeman who can’t tell the difference between a taser and a pistol should not have a pistol. Ever.

...that anyone who believes that looting and property destruction are an appropriate response to societal injustice have simply minimized human beings to pawns in an intellectual game.

...that the “police problem” has less to do with race and more to do with a tiny segment of poorly trained authoritarians with lethal force at their disposal and a lack of simple de-escalation techniques at the ready faced with a lack of professional accountability. But that makes a shitty hashtag.
