The soft racists are the ones who categorize minorities into two groups. The good ones, and the bad ones. The good ones are the ones who support Republicans, and stomp on anyone who objects to the brutality the “bad ones” get.
I call them soft racists, and I know a few. I won’t say I like them, that would be a lie. What I do know is that they claim to like the “good ones”. The ones who are cops, or soldiers, or whatever. The ones who are tough on their own race.
Until they have to put that up to the test. Ramsey County corrections officers of color say they were barred from guarding Derek Chauvin
When the white cop was checked into the Jail, the boss shifted the Minority Officers off of the floor entirely. They were ordered not to go near that floor, or the cop. Now, think about that for a moment. The “good” minorities, the ones who do the same jobs as the whites, are still not trusted. Somehow they would be less professional.
Or is there a larger truth? One that is known, and ignored, and covered up by the “insiders”?
We have all seen videos of police and corrections officers brutalizing prisoners who were strapped to chairs and defenseless. We have all seen videos of Corrections Officers bouncing the off balance guy off the wall, leaving blood in streaks and puddles on the walls and floors. But the Jail Bosses did not want that to happen to Chauvin. So they moved the Minority Officers, the Blacks who were less trustworthy apparently, from the entire floor.
Suddenly the staff which is always lauded as professional and respectful and dedicated is only somewhat trustworthy. The same bosses stand up and tell the press, and file reports with the courts explaining that the brutality that the prisoners get is only the necessary force required to control the jail population. Now, they are not letting any black guards near the White Cop.
Personally I think it was two fold. Racism and a desire to protect Chauvin from the brutality that the rest of the prisoners endure. The handcuffs and restraints put on too tight to make the prisoner suffer. The insults and degradation that the prisoners suffer. It is fine for them, but not Chauvin. He shall not be pushed around like the others are.
We often call it the Blue wall. The wall of cops who will never betray a fellow officer no matter what that fellow cop has done. It isn’t a wall. It is more like a sheer curtain. It disguises and obscures the details but lets you see a lot of the picture. The curtain is getting holes in it for those who see. The lies are being exposed. And the people are getting sick of it. It is time to tear the curtain down, and expose the truth to the people.
