Blake: dead on. The system (justice and law enforcement) that Officer Mike works within is and always has been a force of white supremacy, maintained to continue the control and aggression against black Americans (and other persons of color) since the dawn of American policing. To deny this is to deny hundreds of years of history, not to mention the reality we currently live with. Officer Mike might be a “great guy,” but the environment in which he’s been trained and nurtured is inherently corrupt.
