Actually hard to explain to kids
There are bad people in the world these brave men and women are here to protect you from the bad men and women.
Seems pretty simple to me.
All cops are bad people?
Ohh no people enforcing the rules of society as decided by democracy.
The rules decided on by rich cishet white men to primarily benefit other rich cishet white men? Get bent.
Kids have a simplistic worldview. “They catch bad guys” is probably enough.
The truth of course is pretty different… But I don’t think they have the context needed to understand that.
But then again if you just say that then you won’t have a kid this cool:
It’s simple enough unless you have brown skin. Then unfortunately you need to have a deeper conversation from a much younger age.
