No I am not black. A part of your original comment was "... put on that uniform with a target on my back..." That was the part I was responding to. That is the way many blacks describe their feelings. They feel they have a target on their back and the uniform never comes off. Parents have to caution their children about it. And the feeling is amplified around cops. It is sad. Can you imagine living like that?
Your original comment is valid. I do think it's hard to be a regular ranks policeman. Most don't deserve the derision they receive. But today--of all days--you need to balance that sentiment.
