Our company started a "caring conversation" initiative after the Floyd and Taylor stuff happened in the summer. Basically, small groups get on a WebEx meetings and talk about police brutality, diversity, inclusion, etc. In other words, a liberal echo chamber.

Our mostly liberal group was talking about how what happened to "innocent" Breonna Taylor was inexplicably awful and I finally spoke up and said that we shouldn't forget that Taylor and Floyd were criminals, and that we as a society don't need to be idolizing these folks because they were killed by cops. I then went on to say that the police are put in a bad position daily due to the media, and a large part of what happened is due to the fact that cops are human as well and partially reacted to fight or flight response. The looks I got were pretty ugly.

Did I frick up baws? Should I update my resume?

God I'd either get fired or make it a point to never open my mouth on the call.

There’s no way in hell I would work for a company that would make its employees do that shite. I’d rather take a pay cut.

The only way to save yourself is identify as an oppressed minority, pronto. How do you look in a dress?

Evidence came out that she was an accomplice with her ex-boyfriend.

I don’t see anything implicating the “current” one who shot the cop.

By using their past to determine if they deserve the fate they had? Absolutely.
