\u00e2\u20ac\u017d\u00e2\u20ac\u009dWe all need to recognize cops are the enemy. They\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re not just the enemy of the black guy. They\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re not just the enemy of Miguel who came across the border without a bureaucrats permission first. They are our enemy too, they will pick on us as well. When we allow government to prey on societies least liked memebers, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s only a matter of time before they prey on us too\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Becky Akers<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Educate yourself and get to know them and we can all be on the same page. Have you ever taken a ride along with your local PD? Have you ever went to a pancake breakfast and learned what they talk about? Do you even know one personally? Didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t think so. You are depending on a story or some third party blurb to make drastic decisions about your viewpoints are without taking the time to form your own opinions with real data imo. I have some of those things planned in the near future to learn about them. I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know enough yet to form a valid firm opinion but plan on learning and talking with them.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
