The slideshow of the lives of the couple included photos from a Black Lives Matter protest. One of the two getting married is a cop. Then I noticed Thin Blue Line decor around the gift table. The other half of the couple is Black.
Not zero. In the same way I’m sure
more than zero of the folks wearing swastikas 90 years ago were good. But the odds are low enough it’s not worth the energy.
While I agree that seems absurd, people can have more than black and white views outside of American politics and Reddit, which I hope lemmy has. There must be some cops that want to do better, though I barely would believe them.

Have to ask are they still married?
Yep. And adopted a white baby. Like, intentionally, specifically a white baby.
Well at least they are still married.
Considering the insanely high domestic abuse rate among police officers, I wouldn’t be so sure about that.
Is there a higher rate?
Yes.
Does that mean there IS domestic abuse in that marriage? No. Should we be implying there is? No
He’s a cop, why shouldn’t we be implying he likely beats the shit out of anyone he can?
So there is zero chance that he might be a good person? Zero chance that he might care about the law? That’s a bit of a narrow minded view point.

I don’t think they’d have thin blue line decor though…
Delusional cop and self hating black person? Idk. What I don’t get even more is black people choosing to become cops
