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