A handful of "Cops" out of nearly 37,000 in NYPD. I am sure there are a lot of secret BLM supporters among cops across this country. There are folks in every profession, including the military that have personal and political views that conflict with their given profession.

Unquestionably so.
You are right about the point concerning the military as well. I just flat out told a SSgt giving a class to our infantry company about riot control that I would not be a participant against my own people, i.e. my family, and use deadly force should it be ordered. Picture a Marine infantry unit in riot formation advancing forward reminiscent of 1960s fashion - shoulder to shoulder with fixed bayonets, locked and loaded M-1's, with your mother and father fighting for their values and beliefs, on the front line of the protest.
Let me also say, that my First Sergeant at the time had served in the German Army, but that's another story, where he was removed, and I was the first in my company to be promoted to Corporal about a year later. I'll tell everyone here another thing, too...I would not have taken up arms against those men who defended Lee's monument against my enemies who attacked them - send me to the brig and courts martial me, first.
The guy is protesting black treatment in America where blacks can and do succeed and even get special treatment to do so. If you can't make it here in America as a Black man or woman you can't make it anywhere in the world.
Why don't we go to school and work on the weekends and take the week off!
