One Seattle police officer is going viral after pictures and videos relating to him were released.
The young cop is clearly telling protesters and Black Lives Matter supporters that they’ve won. Moreover, he’s explaining to others that the unrest and violence relating to the whole ordeal is just too much pressure.
Ever since George Floyd’s death, there are countless protests, strikes, riots, and other mass gatherings going on. While some choose to remain peaceful, others just can’t seem to hold their feelings together. And in the end, it’s mass violence of the worst kind.
While the exact conditions or circumstances around the actual video aren’t too clear, the officer looks tired of the unrest. He says to one Black Lives Matter activist that, ‘You guys won.’
Moreover, the cop clearly announces how he is quitting the Seattle police department for good. And in around two months, he’s going to get released from his duties. He even goes to the extent of saying how ‘he’s done,’ with everything.
Other than that, you can see the officer showcasing a very grim appearance. He doesn’t look too happy too. And when the interviewer asks him about whether he’s stepping down due to police brutality, he says No! In fact, he clears the air by stating that he’s just too tired. The entire Black Lives Matter movement and dealing with BLM protesters is too much for him to bear.
