Look no further than Officer Harry Dunn who defended the Capitol and his own life against Trump’s thugs and the far-right terrorist Ashli Babbit! Blue Lives Matter left him in the wind and Law And Crime insulted him. Many wanted him to be charged with murder! I wonder why? Blues Lives don’t matter when life is wrapped in BLACK skin!

Intersectionality, according to the dictionary means, “The interconnected nature of social categorizations such as race, class, and gender as they apply to a given individual or group, regarded as creating overlapping and interdependent systems of discrimination or disadvantage.” This word has more relevant now than ever. My perfect “real world” example of intersectionality is the life of a Black police officer.

A first-person source of what it is like to be a Black police officer.

In class this week, we discussed, intersectionality. Does the triangle with stripes fit in with the triangles, or does it fit in with the stripes? Even though this striped triangle is both of these things, it has a difficulty finding which group it belongs too. Often times the stripes and triangles argue with who faces more oppression. However intersectionality acknowledges that oppression must be faced together, not separately because they’re oppressing two different things. This word and analogy made me think of Black police officers in todays society. They are Black. They are police officers. But who are they? This article does a great job at pinpointing some Black police officers feelings and having a conversation about this uneasy topic.

Co-chair of the joint committee on transparent policing and use of force reform is a former cop. #loadedDice #wolfInTheHenHouse #BlackCops I doubt this committee will be able to do anything—it is packed with cops. https://www.instagram.com/p/CDMMtV_F5_Ln-W_uTlsWmCfDDIr5L7t-f1TdHs0/?igshid=1h3el8u3jyx3k
