Time talk about hot topics!
I´m not from USA but Holy Shit! It is imposible to take a look to social media without spotting some post about riots, ACAB, BLM and the murder of that man.
Well... I readed a lot of opinions and news and I´m trying my best to understand all points of view. I get those behind ACAB because they are doing their best to clarify they are not hating on individuals but attacking the police as an organization, I even can get the support of the riots and even the looting as a way of protesting againts the value property above life. I dont have to say why I also understand the position againts violence and hating cops (you just have to think on all the people with friends or family on the P.D. or who are cops themselves)
At the end, everyone is trying to justify stuff that they like or value the most. It is obvious that if you have a small business in a town where riots are happening you will be hesitant about the violence. And, even if you think you are being all good and altruistic because you are an ally and support BLM even without being black, if you justify that kind of violence you are as selfish as any other human, you are not doing that because is good for all, you are doing that because you dont like the goberment or because you have friends or family who were abused by the police or the state. It is easy to think you are doing the correct thing, that you are in the "right" side of history, but there is no good or evil in the real world, those are words we humans created to classify stuff.
The silent people, the ACAB people and the pro cop people are all selfish, we all are selfish trying to justify that selfhisness with our own morals, or with the arbitrary rules of the state we live. I´m a silent one, not because i´m afraid of voice my opinion but because I really dont care enough for those I dont know. So, yes, I dont like cops, I dont like militars, I dont like guns, I have never meet a cop or a militar, but I dont like them as organizations, but that is not a good reason (at least for me) to hurt those who like or support them. If I can be an idealistic moron trying to convince myslef that people tend to be nice supportive and good overall, why it would be bad for some dude to be idealistic thinking they can change the system from inside, being a good cop and making the difference.
ACAB and BLM people are trying to make the difference, trying to change the world to better, I respect that, but I can´t be supportive of a group so radicalized. It easy to be peacefull when you are fine and because of that I will not deny if someone call me a effing hypocrite, because if I was poor, if I had grown in a violent hood with little chance to have a good life, I also would be doing my best to change everything and maybe I would´t be so hesitant to use violence when everything else fails.
I´m pretty sure there will be always misfortune arround the world, there will be always people in a better position than others because there is no way to make a society where everyone is happy. I had a lot of luck with the life I get and I always try to enjoy the most of everything what I have because life is weird and you never know when you could fall to the wrong side of history. For those who struggle and fight to get to a better place, I hope you can change the world to a better one for you, a better world for everyone hopefully.
If you are white, black, hispanic, asian, gay, straight, bi, trans or cis and dont think like that, dont worry, everyone have their own opinion and I dont care that people with different opinions follow me or like what I draw. Feel free to support my opinion or to go againts it, tell me why i´m wrong, I may change my position if yours is strong enough, or you just can laugh because all what I said was stupid and ignorant, I will be the fisrt one to say "yes, I don´t know a shit about this and you are doing good for not taking me as a relevant source of information".
Stay safe people! And thanks to anyone patient enough to read to the end!
