Texas Cops Post Photo Response To Black Lives Matter Movement Two cops from Texas, the state responsible for two of the most recent senseless deaths of Black people at the hands of police or in police custody , have decided that they have their own message to send about the #BlackLivesMatter movement. But despite how utterly terrible it looks, they say it’s more about realizing that “not all cops are bad,” than counteracting the outrage. Via MailOnline : A black and a white police officer have staged their own powerful response to the Black Lives Matter. Chief Steven Jones and Officer Donald Givens from Trinity Police Department in Texas posed for an image with the message ‘His Life Matters’ scribbled on their hands, with arrows pointing at one another. The picture was taken in May and only shared a handful of times on Twitter, but over recent months it has been shared thousands of times. They were responding to the protest movement that sprung up after the highly publicized deaths of black Americans, including Michael Brown, Tamir Rice and Samuel DuBose. They were all shot and killed by white police officers. Chief Jones told Fox and Friends on Thursday: I don’t want to put down law enforcement all together, but … there’s so many things that are happening these days that sometimes we can’t stand behind officers that do bad things. However, the community and the nation can’t condemn every single officer based on the actions of a few.’ If you’re so concerned with the reckless actions of “a few,” make some changes instead of posting “don’t judge us” pics…ESPECIALLY piggybacking off a movement seeking to remember the fallen and demand change. SMH!
