| Topic | SF police officers will not march in the the city's LGBTQ Pride parade this year |

Seeing as pride grew out of a commemoration of the riots that ensued after the cops raided a gay bar and were exceedingly violent in doing so, no, cops should not be there. At least not as cops. When you come in uniform, as a cop, you represent the institution. If they were to come in their street clothes, as members of the LGBTQ community that's fine. It would be like if Cops came and marched in a parade to commemorate the life of Fred Hamptom or any of the other Black Panthers they murdered. Those individual cops did not murder anybody or cause those riots, just because a police officer did it doesn't mean that all police officers are evil. People understand tolerance and unity and pride and all these things until its a group they don't care for, then they can dehumanize all they wish. People should practice what they preach. The exact same things that people accuse others of doing, racism, sexism, etc, they are perfectly fine practicing the exact same things when its a "bad guy" like a "cop" --- Shelton undoubtedly wants Cena's championship belt. And Cena undoubtedly wants Shelton's black heritage.- looseiver ... Copied to Clipboard! |
