I work at a company in SF that's gone full ACAB ("all cops are bastards"), defund the police, you must be with us or you are not an "anti-racist", et. There's a lot of internal activist groups and what not.
I worry that investors have no idea how much time and resources are spent on this, but then I consider that activist shareholders themselves have become a movement.
The reality is that this type of thing is going to become more and more common and accepted.
As long as they are allowed to investigate themselves and are not require to make any reports or have independent oversight, we can't even claim that!
Protestors who are literally being beaten senseless in the streets or say, being hit by Ford police cars being used as "crowd control" aren't hysterical. Please watch some of the protest videos -- they're absolutely fucking terrifying. I watched a 120 lb unarmed white woman get picked up and slammed to the concrete by her neck. I watched a police officer pepper spray another unarmed woman point blank in the face when she came up to him asking for help. I watched police "enforce" curfew by spraying rubber bullets on unarmed kids standing on their porches. At the protests in my city I watched police purposefully destroy tables set up by volunteers to give protesters food, water, and medical supplies -- I watched the police bulldoze an old man with a cane -- I watched a disabled man get dragged on the concrete by police after they stole his prosthetic legs.
Millions of people in defund the police / abolish the police, and the entire African American community, along with many other marginalized communities; may consider that a very privileged perspective.
The police, with the broken laws and systems in place, could very well be universally bad. I think that’s an obvious point of contention at the moment and is a long standing belief that we are reconsidering.
Claiming that every single black person in America thinks that ever single police office in America is bad discredits whatever point you're trying to make. You must spend your entire life in a bubble if you truly believe that.
It's the old dilemma: There's 1% chance this beer can kill you: Do you want to try your chance and drink it? Of course not. But you can't not interact with the police. Just being black is enough to get bad cops' negative attention.
Really bubble much ????.
