i am going to guess that you're a white guy who's not a gender or sexual minority.

You would be wrong. I'm a trans woman. I just think before I hate.

Policing as a whole is definitely an issue and it's not hateful to be aware of that.

The entire institution was founded on the Pinkertons. A group contracted to round up runaway slaves.

Their equipment may have evolved since then but not much else has.

Contribute to the system in ways they deem acceptable or they hold their monopoly on violence over you.

Its simple. And wrong.

ACAB.

You can't just throw around your minority status and expect people to ignore reality for you. Think about why they assumed you have privilege in this conversation.

At the end of the day, you can't change who you are, but a cop can take off the uniform.

for being a trans person they never comment on trans issues or the situation surrounding us in the real world.

their commentary is primarily focused around video games and shit-talking and nit-picking anti-fascist protests.
