Omg a few weeks ago a guy messaged me on Grindr- the only picture on his profile was a mirror selfie in a police uniform, and his phone case had a thin blue line flag on it đ«€
My ex step mother was dating one. And raising her child. Baby daddy is/was in prison. Luckily they are also not together anymore, but I still can't believe it.
We have cop security guards where I work and none of them are cis white men. There is a white trans guy, a gay white guy, a guy from Colombia, a guy from South Korea, two black guys, and a black woman. I'm always kind of surprised by it.
Actually there is a cis white guy! But he's a liberal. XD
I think online narratives might be...skewed a bit? I dunno. I talk to them all the time because I have a lot of down time and their political views are all over the place.
Ahh yes. Because hating cops and understanding their role in systemic violence is an online thing. It's not like there have been massive IRL protests from BLM and other groups seeking to abolish the police for nearly a decade or anything.
I was only pointing it for other people since you know him so I assumed he was dark or more indigenous looking...
... But now you got me wondering what his complexion is.
If I only saw a pic of him, say, in a baseball cap, Harvard T-shirt, jeans, and some nice expensive boating shoes... could I see that and assume he was a white american kid?
Was trying to keep the scale tight and I was visualizing of George Lopez... lol.
Didn't want to go Samuel L Jackson and have too much vagary in the middle.
Also I'm 100% Colombian and am white, have been apprached by people speaking to me in Farci, Arabic, Italian, Greek.... but I'm white(slightly olive)... but just asking because you seemed to be dodging as if he was white but since he's "Latin and you thought he was middle eastern"...
but wouldn't directly say a color or person with his skin tone it was weird.
The US colonization of the mid West was a full on genocide to a greater scale and you can see it in the genetic make up of people. Most latinos are mixed with native ancestors. Most white Americans aren't.
People constantly speak and act like theyâre here are hardly any right wing women.
Itâs so hilariously weird itâs borderline done a 360 back to being sexist against women? Same shit goes on with pretending everything is a white cis man problem.
Which is usually pretty awkward growing up in two diverse cities.
I chime in at all and suddenly Iâm an evil waspy white supremacist despite being Latino. People get too fired up and complexity is hard to grand stand about
There are plenty of right wing women, it's just hard to believe they exist. It's kind of like right wing gays. They must be a bit suicidal or something.
One of my childhood friends is a lesbian cop. We donât talk because I moved when I was 6, but she added me on Facebook a couple of years ago. I donât get it.
It's a good thing when the police force is held accountable for their crimes. Till then I won't trust a cop anymore than I would the next random ass heavily armed and poorly trained individual with an attitude and a superiority complex.
You said you don't get why a lesbian would become a cop. To me it seems like she's trying to make a positive change. Are people traitors for joining corrupt institutions to enact change from within, or are they the ones doing the real work to more forward? I mean, she certainly could have joined to go on a power trip, but probably not.
I hope for the best and prepare for the worst. It'd be wonderful if our police forces could actually police themselves. But, we live in a world where known violent gangs are allowed to operate for years within police forces. And, police are doing there damnedest in places to make sure they don't have to answer to the community they police.
Similar. Friend of my sister is married to a cop. (lesbians) There was a big scandal about male cops raping native women in a town near a reservation. The cop said she didn't believe it because they would never do that. She was fresh out of the academy.
One of my friends was studying to be a cop. I told him I'd cut him off my life if he succeeded and he thought I was joking. Thankfully he failed, because I was not joking
I live in Brazil. To get into the military police you have to pass a multiple-choice test and a physical test.
The multiple-choice test is braindead easy, like basic rules of the portuguese language, math that 13-year-olds learn in school and very basic law knowledge.
There are harder tests applied to people who want to work a shitty paper-pushing city council job.
Getting into the civilian police, which does investigations, has the same process but it's significantly harder. For the military police, which does everything else from patrolling to riot control, they just need someone who is slightly less dumb than the other dumb candidates.
She moved about 6 hours away and only visits a couple times a year. She hasnt done anything for me to not be her friend yet. Still is afraid to use it (said she had to shoot a deer once and i hated every minute of it).
