Thus, she is acknowledging that issues with race exist and are real. Not every human will do this. Some humans don't believe that race is ever an issue.

My mom made a call to the Jersey City Police department for a welfare check and they rang my bell and met me at the top of the staircase. We talked and I told them that I recently left my job and did not want to hear what she had to say. They said "just call her, she is concerned" they left after. That is how you handle a welfare check.

Its bad policing and has nothing to do with the lawyers race. The police should always make their presence known, and she is lucky she called out to the cops, otherwise the situation could of been the same.

[@scottwill6498]

User 548753 your right I have my criminal justice degree and all cops need to go through years of learning to train the mind that people aren’t bad, if you want to be a cop you have to remember your pulling someone over or trying to apprehend someone who already might not be having a good day and you unknowingly may add on to that bad day so long story short more community policing less ticket and apprehension

police to people of color : 🙄 relax your over reacting... it was just a heat of the moment.... uh ..uhhh they shouldn't have moved sudden... i mean sure they were asleep and were woken up to strangers in their property... but... umm you have to understand our job is dangerous and we are at risk cops to white people : sir please we got a call about suspicious activity....that your dog was barking so we came to check if you were alright *white person calls out white privilege* cops : 😑🙄 *crowd cheers* also cops :😨😰

She just compared a person to a dog

[@Falleninator]

I'll clarify for your 5 neurons. She was saying that because she's WHITE - her biggest worry was "what if they had shot my DOG." If she had been a black woman, her biggest worry would've been "what if they shot ME." Because she recognizes that interactions with police are VASTLY different depending on the color of one's skin. She in no way, shape or form compared a person to a dog.

[@jonathanbussu6748]

t A black woman in the situation might also think "what if they shot my dog" don't make assumptions on peoples reactions, espessially to an hypothetical event, there was no dog on the Tay's 911 call. If the cop is gonna shoot by mistake he might shoot the dog or a person, you are in no position to make assumptions as to how a person will react depending on their skin color.

[@jonathanbussu6748]

Reactions depend on personality not skin color.

We all need to stand up for justice in our communities and make sure every person of every colour has the same privileges and rights. We need to fight for better training and screening processes for our police officers and for _actual_ justice when they violate the rights and freedoms of all citizens they are sworn to protect.

True. We need nation-wide uniformity. Each state/county have different standards when training and vetting officers. And until there are real consequences for their sick unlawful behavior, nothing will deter them from murdering innocent people.
