Portland police officer Jakhary Jackson was interviewed by KGW8 TV in Oregon.. The subject was the perspective of being a black officer policing the violent Portland protests .
We will let his words speak for themselves, it’s quite enlightening.
Jackson said that white protesters routinely behave in a condescending manner and scream at cops, telling them to quit the force. “Having people tell you what to do with your life, that you need to quit your job. Saying you’re hurting your community but they’re not even part of the community. And you as a privileged white person telling a person of color what to do with their life – and you don’t even know what I’ve dealt with or what these white officers that you’re screaming at — you don’t know them. You don’t know anything about them,” he said.
“It says something when you’re at a Black Lives Matter protest and you have more minorities on the police side than you have in a violent crowd,” Jackson explained. “You have white people screaming at black officers, ‘you have the biggest nose I’ve ever seen!’ You hear these things and you go, ‘are they gonna say something to this person?’ No.

This US black police officer beautifully describes woke racism.
Black people can’t think or talk for themselves. Woke white people want to patronise us and treat us like children.
