While you may mean well, you’re being naive.
My concern for my personal safety, while extant, is relatively low because I’m straight, white and not visibly disabled. If you were trying to trolley me because you think fear is an insult, you’re wasting your time; I don’t share that particular insecurity over rational fear.
Again, when you call the cops on a POC or a person with a visible disability, you’re putting their lives in real jeopardy. Unless they’re an actual and immediate threat to you or others (not merely an illusory threat perceived through the filter of privilege), you’re escalating the situation and endangering everyone involved. That’s a mathematical reality you choose to ignore.
It really sucks that we’re denied police forces trained in keeping the peace. But ignoring an inconvenient reality makes it no less so.
