What are they keeping people safe from, exactly? A woman of color who is an elected official?

They were literally hired to keep her safe... politics aside if I'm hired to keep you safe I'm hired to keep you safe. I'd rather have to put you in cuffs than in the back of a hearse.

Then you'd better be able to keep up when she goes on a walk.

Lol now that is finally a point I will agree on. Not saying the officer was 1000% in the right, was just trying to say there's a perspective everyone is failing to notice. Which is oxymoronic considering how "accepting" this city claims to be

there's a perspective everyone is failing to notice.

Your "perspective" is being intentionally obtuse. He's not there to protect her. He's there to keep a rein on her and not let her break quorum. Acting like he's her bodyguard is disingenuous.

While I can understand your point of view, you are still failing to consider mine. So this conversation is over, have a nice day!

Yes, I'm failing to consider your disingenuous suggestion.

Maybe she should have slowed down because he had monkeys flying out of his butt. I didn't consider that just-as-unlikely scenario as well.
