Sandra Bland spirit came - february 7th 1987
I heard a white man once say on television, the pbs newshour, that people who protest against law enforcement need to let law enforcement do their job. But, what is the penalty when law enforcement commits crimes, whether illegal or not? If being a law enforcer doesn't come with greater penalty when one breaks the law then how can law enforcers be expected to fear the law more? and if law enforcers don't fear the law more then is not their abuse of the law inevitable?

Of course, the devil would side with his own.

It depends on the crime law enforcement commits.

Law enforcement folks know the limits of leniency against them breaking laws.

There is no abuse of law as long law enforcement is upholdinflg & maintaining the system of white supremacy.

 

That ultimately comes down to keep non-white folks in check.

 

Whenever white folks are caught in the crossfire that is form of sacrifice. Collateral damage.😎
