So yesterday we went to #Seattle to support their community’s right to peacefully protest the unacceptable tragedy that occurred in Minneapolis and other injustices to people of color. At our post I had some very thought provoking discussions about how to make things better for our communities of color. I spoke with Ricky, Dr. Zhang, Kevin & Alex. My second favorite discussion was with @larsenbarber, who I found out trains #jiujitsu at @summitbjj! He was shocked how a jiu-jitsu hobbyist like himself who trains 2-3 times a week has more ground focused training in two months than many officers have in their entire careers! I mentioned how @jockowillink spoke on this topic and how he believes that 20% of each of our workdays should be devoted to training, and maybe one day that will be a reality. I hope to roll with you one day brother! 🙏🏽🥋🤙🏽…. Then, I met Ibu. Ibu told me he came to Seattle from Lynnwood to protest. He was holding a large, black, floppy cylindrically shaped object and was waving / shaking it at all of us. He looked at me and said “speechless right?” I told him I had many thoughts, but many of them were not appropriate for a public forum. I said we should get some news stations with their cameras here, and have them interview me while he stands in the background. I said he should give me his cell and I would text him when we are dispatched to a hostile situation because his presence and dialogue would immediately de-escalate any tense situation. I asked him if he ordered that @amazon, if he had #amazonprime, how many drones it would take to deliver it, and if it came in a package or if it was used / unboxed. I said to the folks who were there that someone should come up with a hashtag for this and make it trend! Without missing a beat, Ricky said #deescalationdildo” and the rest is history. Thankfully Ricky also captured some of the dialogue, but if anyone has the rest please share it because the world really needs some laughter during these dark times we are all going through. Mahalo to Ibu for showing us all the right way to protest! If you have a creative but still PG hashtag, share it in the comments! #covidildo19 #dildoordildont
