Anonymous,
Madison, WI.
I’m from Madison, WI, where Tony Robinson was killed by police. I’ve been studying at UW Madison in the Legal Study field and I planned to join MPD after college. This was before the big spike in Black Lives Matter protests. Everyday this weekend I see calls to counter the police, and protest, and videos of people shaming the police in my city. I don’t support police shootings, I think they’re terrible for everyone. All the good police I’ve met in this city are being shamed by my fellow students. I’m too afraid to tell anyone my plans anymore, and I don’t think I can follow through with my plans without most of my friends hating me. I wanted to join the police because I want to give people good impressions of the police, but now I see that nothing matters if one officer does something wrong.
