I don’t want to start anything on here, but there is a factor of white privilege that is present. Please acknowledge that you don’t get profiled because of your skin color. There are minorities that are persecuted not for their actions, but for who they are. Like you said, you were speeding so you were pulled over. How would you feel if you were just driving and got pulled over? I’m glad that you are acknowledging that there are good and bad cops. We need more good cops that are willing to step up and call out any bad actors.

I will say, I don’t agree with the destruction of property, but it’s a minority that are causing this destruction. These people are not part of the movement they are Opportunist who are hurting the message. In the end property can be rebuilt, but lives cannot. I know this does not justify these actions, but hear the message we are a nation divided. Thanks for speaking up and hopefully we all can keep an open mind and do our part to come together.

I recommend reading between the world and me. As a white male, it provided a strong message that really made me think. I’d love to get some more open conversations about race and privilege going on Hive.
