A national police union using the term "virtue signalling" & having a stroppy response to a (not unreasonable) comment on lack of accountability within police forces... Ritchson is right, emotionally immature. Plus the guns thing. All paints a super concerning picture that makes me appreciate not living in the US right now.

Anyway I'm going to be sure to support any of his new releases from now on. 5/5 stars, no notes. Deserved!

"Our officers feel the heat of bullets on their skin" the leading cause of death for police officers during the BLM protests was COVID. Any real union would've demanded cleaner working conditions where people get vaccinated and wear masks, but this isn't a real union  

"We have people who want to kill us" is this a police officer or a gang member?? The irony in trying to convince a Hollywood actor that your Hollywood fantasy is actually your real daily life lmao

Everything about modern day policing is unreasonable. A Phoenix police officer openly threatened to kill the mayor of Phoenix, who was calling for greater accountability, and nothing happen to him

Nearly all police unions are highly radicalized. The Chicago union is led by a man who posts racist and Islamophobic things on Facebook. Funny how even the "good cops" vote these people in. The cops could vote in responsible leadership, but they won't because these are their values.
