As a retired cop, it pains me to agree with you. I am not sure who is the more dangerous of these dangerous people; the openly racist and misogynistic of those like the Captain, or those who oh so sincerely believe that they "don't see color, but see crime" and cannot fathom the concept of systemic racism or implicit bias.

With the Captain you know what you're getting and he can be shut down. With the "color blind" who only "see crime" you're getting people who quietly infect those they touch with their poisonous ideas, under the guise of "concern". It's insidious.
Ally, thank you for your service and your commitment to public safety. ❤
