Everything is challenging.
I am sick and tired of the systemic racism. Seeing the justification for
the murder of unarmed people of color. Little boys with their hands up.
Woman sleeping in their beds.
Here's the thing, I am not an all cops are bad person. I have had plenty
of good encounters with police but I have also witnessed police being
aggressive.
Why do doctors, social workers and many other people oriented careers
require a license and accountability...yet police get some flimsy
training and then we are supposed to worship the ground they walk.
I deal with aggressive and hostile people. I get threatened and I have
had to learn to de-escalate. I do not get to carry any protection. Does
it always work, no? But time and time again we are seeing these murders
and there's no accountability.
So, yes, I don't hate all cops but I also think they need to be held
accountable. My husband has said that even the military has higher
standards and holds people accountable. He was in the military so I
believe him.
Why is there no accountability and instead people try and say we cannot
compare professions and they completely disregard the notion
that....there needs to be a better system of accountability.
Our justice system is a sham. It is for profit and it doesn't
rehabilitate. People get out and have no resources and reoffend. Certain
crimes bar people from housing and they end up on the streets. There's
all this talk of high recidivism rates...and these issues are why....but
god forbid we force cops to face justice.
Now, work, I am dealing with a difficult situation. Someone is picking
at me. They are being hostile and they are trying to get a response. It
is so hard to be nice to them yet I do it because I would get in
trouble. I do it to try and help t he client.
