True Chief, sending her armed troops out to disperse a peaceful park vigil for Elijah. What an example.

[@INJESUSIMRIGHTEOUS]

@@overlyover5253 no really. If I can give a little insight. It is a long and hard process to be able to qualify and be accepted into the academy. Weeks of study and sacrifice by them and their family if they have one. They have to memorize dialogs, rules, laws by certain time. Fill out forms every day not allowed to make one mistake as they are given only one form. If they make a mistake they go through a disciplinary process. Their partner's involvement is required as a support system which is necessary because of danger of exhaustion and also help with the requirements of maintaining uniform conditions standards. I know individuals whom have become a great addition for the police and serve their department their community and their family's with integrity courage honesty morally respectful, and continues to do so. Those that don't respect the commitment and promise they made through the training and teachings, might not been guided by the right reasons or motives when they decided join. Or might've allowed themselves to change their ideals influenced by other immature irresponsible, partners in their department. Which is disgusting and like the Chief said, dishonorable to the rest whom are trying to to the right thing. I applaud the decition of the Chief to take the disciplinary action she needed to take without hesitation. That's what needs to be done in every police department. You cannot ignore the facts and evidence that is in front of you in order to protect a few criminal individuals that can affect the whole police department and a community that relays in your guidance by example. Thank you Chief.

Dark humor is often a part of working in any type of para-military organization, but once you are publicly caught, you are made an example of. If your Sargeant caught you, he might not say anything, might chuckle or might say cut it out and delete it. Obviously, once you send it to one person, there is a strong likelihood that others will get it and possibly leak. Doesn't matter if it's damage control. The Sargeant received a complaint. He was smart enough to realize that he better get ahead of it. It still sends a message that even amongst their own, some of their own will cross the Blue Line....and for the public to start trusting their police officers, that is a good thing.

Before this I was living with fear and anxiety as a black woman. I just gave birth to a beautiful black baby boy,but the thing is,I found myself being anxious about his life as a minority. Watching this lady giving a speech condemning those "cops" really soothed me. Probably because I realize that it's no longer BLK people Vs the world,but it's actually the world (including good cops) Vs racists. People of colour are not alone afterall,my son WILL have a bright future with his right to dignity and opportunity acknowledged. He is not alone. I feel so much hope now💓 God bless you ma'am 🙏🏿

I have seen cases of young men been misunderstood because they are not been able to explain themselves, answer fast enough or even understand what is happening because they have not comitted any crimes but someome decides they are 'suspicious' because they are just been their atypical selfs, not even hurting a fly.
