He's saying we shouldn't be satisfied this modicum/hint of progress, and that people shouldn't feel obligated to feel satisfied/complacent when things are still fundamentally broken.
Not saying we should be satisfied at all, but giving props to those that are actually trying is important I think, since others are just covering their eyes and pretending the problem doesn't even exist.
Where are you even getting this from?
People don't need gold stars for doing their fucking job and not killing people. Where are my trophies?
No I understand that. But when progress is being made, especially in this climate, however small, and people start going in on the people actually taking those steps instead of washing their hands of it, it can be detrimental to others to follow. That's all I am saying.
I got a bit frustrated because I've seen folks on the board talk about how police should be disbanded and such, I misspoke. Forgive me.
Is that what you think I'm saying? When's the last time you got a medal for not killing someone who flinched in a way that spooked you?
In this climate, in my opinion we should be elevating people who DO do the right thing, because it is apparently hard to do that. Holding up them as examples, instead of saying 'yeah but they haven't' will encourage more people to take action instead of, like I said above, ignoring the problem.
Sorry I upset folks, I didn't mean to.
Seriously.
Everything is so fucked when we say give them credit/kudos they're trying not to murder as many people as they used to.
When the status quo IS people murdering for no fucking reason, yeah, I think we should give kudos to those that don't because they are trying. But again, like I said, I didn't mean to upset folks. >.<
I'm a bit dumb when it comes to like, giving people credit and having faith in humanity and all
One of those people that tends to see the best in others. It's a flaw, seriously, because it gets in my trouble as seen here.
