Well stated! But we should not be surprised by this, right? I mean, when in history were the oppressors and those in a position of power the first ones to recognize how oppressive their actions were? It is always the oppressed and the powerless who are forced to raise the awareness of the problem and fight against the inertia of inaction so that these voices may be heard. Am I right?

The truth of the matter, more often than not, comes from those who have been victims of abject power. Before we had the videotapes, how many more Rodney Kings, Philando Castilles and George Floyds were there? A line can be traced from slavery to racial profiling and discrimination, even at the hands of the police, and it just goes on and on. Sometimes the least self-critical human being is a cop.
