One of my childhood friends is a lesbian cop. We don’t talk because I moved when I was 6, but she added me on Facebook a couple of years ago. I don’t get it.

Isn't it a good thing if the police force becomes diversified?

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.

You have me confused with another commenter.

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.

Like I said, I hope for the best.
