    Let me offer an olive branch to America’s police & prosecutors. You say you only have a few bad apples. I disagree, but won’t argue about that today. What we are asking is for you to stop protecting your few apples and to hold them accountable for their worst actions. Now.

        I am a doctor and when a bad doctor hurts patients, most doctors want them gone. If fact, we feel their punishments should be even harsher given their power and 4 breaking the public's trust. 1/2

        Imagine if every time a person called out a bad doctor all the other doctors refused to help them. I know this isn't 1:1 & there are nuances that make these jobs different. But any group that defends their worst members blindly isn't a public or civil service it's a gang. 2/2

        White people have the right to individuality; one isn't responsible for the crimes of another. However, Blacks, Latinos, and Muslims are seen as collectively guilty. The travel ban, the proposed wall, and the rate at which unarmed black men are killed by police all reflect this.

        But the issue isn't protecting the bad apples. The issue is the systemic racism which leads to piss-poor policing and the inability to do the job without bias.

        It's a big part of the problem though. They would prefer protecting each other and not ratting out a fellow officer than do what's right. Yet have the nerve to proclaim most officers aren't like that, Blue Lives Matter 😒

        IF it’s just a few bad apples, as they claim, then that means they are capable of identifying said bad apples, which means they are complicit in allowing said bad apples to operate with impunity. Either way, good cops are still in the wrong.

        I say even if you are good officers, and if you sit back and say or do nothing, (when you see wrong), you’re just as guilty as the rotten ones.

        That's what I want to know. I am only curious as I have never seen Hebrew letter/symbols tattooed on a person before.

        There is no way to actually transfer these emots onto a platform to find out...I have searched for translation based sites to get the meaning here..But I can't find the letters on the lads arm... Will keep searching ✌️

        I tried the Hebrew alphabet & got: Door. road/path/way. Passion/Desire Dalet. Yoad. Beit. Somewhere, someone who knows Hebrew is laughing hysterically at me. I just know it.
