A Message

I’m angry that I can’t walk anywhere without worrying that the police will detain me again. It’s hard for me to be friends with people who oppose the peaceful protests against police harassment and brutality of marginalized people. Marginalized people see and feel the world differently than the majority does and we recognize things the majority doesn’t consider or care about.

Not liking the country and wanting the country to do better are two different things. I love this country, but I want it to do better.

Flashbacks

Flashbacks today. Of all the times police have detained me for walking with cerebral palsy. And I’m reminded of an article that a cop I know had posted on Facebook a few years ago. This article was written by a cop and it was about how police see everyone else as criminals, liars and troublemakers.

I don’t want to believe that every cop shares that outlook, but assuming it’s true, if all cops really see everyone else as a problem, wouldn’t it be fair that a lot of people see the police as a problem?

Justice

I’m in Facebook jail for suggesting the court of law should sentence recently arrested Leader of the Oath Keepers to death, for the crime of treason.

So, if you thought Facebook was only cracking down on right wingers for comments about the left, you were mistaken.

American

I’ll never call myself a Democrat or a Republican, a right-winger or a left-winger, a conservative or a liberal, because I believe these two sides are ripping the country apart and because I have values that fall under each. I might call myself a Christian and an American, though.
