You know Lydia, I find myself walking away from my old friends as well as they don’t even look normal to me anymore. The things I once enjoyed just aren’t fun anymore. I'm tired of pretending there isn’t a racial problem in this country. I’m a police officer. I walked away from the group I always spend time with because I’m tired of it. It’s bullshit and I’m tired of some of the shit they say. I signed up to protect all citizens of this country not just white citizens. I set with some of the black officers. The chief told me he knew that was coming. He’s black. He walked away calling me Mr. Gnostic and I laughed. We ended up talking about my faith and several other white officers joined us. We were laughing and having a good time. I am a public servant and we are here for all the people in our public. They teased me about my X . They said when I ended that they knew I was a new man. I don’t think Black Lives Matter is anti police or law enforcement. I agree with you Mark, they want fair and equal treatment under the law and they are not only entitled to that, they deserve that.
