Good for him and I hope others join his fight, but I hope he doesn't end up accidentally shot by a fellow cop.

Commit a crime = expect to spend some serious time in prison. People like you really believe if we allow looting, rape and murder somehow it will be good for either of our communities? This is why I feel you're wrong.

Thanks.

Yeah, that's a lot of work but you could just look at the sign posted in the OP. That would be a start.

Good luck.

Not racism in general and not Black racism

I am from Pittsburgh. I personally do not feel that this sign is calling the police department racist. The police union in Pittsburgh is still smarting over the fact that the mayor chose to hire a Chief from outside the department. Considering the last Chief; Nate Harper, is currently in federal prison it seems like a prudent move to choose a man outside of the department and the union.
