I appreciate your perspective on this topic. It’s one of the most thoughtful comments I’ve read. The notion that all cops are racist is no different than saying all black people are criminals. Given the fact that police from across the state have been brought to Columbus to help with the protest should have some merit here. Blaming a whole group of people for the actions of a few is what got us into this mess. Instead of targeting those enforcing the laws, how bought going straight to the people making them? True reform will only come through legislative action. I encourage every minority here to start paying attention to what the Black Caucus is or isn’t doing for you. Pay attention to the words every individual representative (on both sides) is saying and then pair it with their actions. Are they making generalized sweeping statements, encouraging more hate and dissemination? If so, I can guarantee that when the opportunity comes they’ll make similar statements against you when it fits whatever narrative they’re trying to fill.
