⁣ A Long Beach Police Officer (@longbeachpd.ca) was driving drunk.⁣


Let me translate this for you. ⁣
A Long Beach Police Officer (@longbeachpd.ca) was driving drunk.⁣
Ran into several cars. ⁣
And then passed out. ⁣
He was likely armed with a gun and had a visible knife on his lap. ⁣
OK? Following me?⁣
What happened next is why I say police RARELY need more training. They actually know what to do.⁣
They just pick and choose who gets their best, who gets their patience and expertise. ⁣
So….⁣
I know of at least 25 Black men who’ve been shot and killed in this position. People called the police on them as they were asleep in their car. ⁣
But here’s what the Long Beach Police did.⁣
1. They went and got a spike strip to flatten his tires if the man drove off. ⁣
2. They went and got a big bullet proof sheet to protect themselves in case shots were fired.⁣
3. They went and got special less lethal weapons in case they needed them.⁣
4. They went and got an officer that knew the man and could speak to him. ⁣
5. Then they took him to a small police department and let him keep his job.⁣
Here’s the thing….⁣
THAT’S EXCELLENT POLICING. ⁣
I’m not mad at it. ⁣
It’s just that I’ve NEVER seen a Black man get this treatment. This patience. This care. This time. This precision.⁣
