I’ve seen a lot of violence & hate towards #police. It’s frustrating to me that I see tweets painting all police officers w same brush. I believe that their are systematic issues that impact POC, women, inds in lower socioeconomic status that are inherent & oppressive 1/
as well as dangerous. I would argue that systematic oppression also exists in #healthcare #academia. Do we, as a society condone the increased violence against nurses & physicians? Is this violence a result of a #brokensystem? Should we eradicate healthcare? I believe that 2/
systems need to be majorly restructured but again to lump all those who are police, or go into healthcare or academia as ‘bad’ ‘racist’ is unfair. Are there inds that go into these fields that are bad? Yes. But I also believe many go into these professions in attempts 3/
to improve, to make things better. I believe we must challenge the current systems BUT I find violence towards those in these fields unacceptable. I think these systems broken and many going into these fields need support to improve systems to make them accessible & fair to ALL 4
The violence is not ok. It’s way beyond time to eradicate the oppressions that are inherent in these systems but not demonize all those working in these broken systems. 5/
