He added: “It’s important for me to recognize the ones who stand in the gap and put their lives on the line each and every single day for humans of different race and ethnicity, including those who hate them. The Thin Blue Line represents each officer protecting protestors, properties, and businesses while being threatened, attacked, shot, shot at, hit with vehicles, and other forms of brutality.”

“I don’t think Garrett is malicious, but Garrett is what the problem is,” Lindsay said. She later added, “I don’t understand why you say ‘It wasn’t malicious’ or ‘I’m just now understanding things.’ You have to admit that you made a choice to not see it.”

She continued, “It’s something that we are trying to work through and discuss and do work on at home at this time. That’s where the work will remain and that’s really the best I can give you at this point.”

Then Lindsay acknowledged Kufrin’s effort and willingness to change. However, the same can’t be said for Yrigoyen at this time. 

“As a friend that’s willing to learn, how — as a friend — can I not be willing to help out and be there for you?” Lindsay said. “Now, Garrett — that’s a different situation. I don’t f*ck with Garret and I don’t need to. But you and I have a different relationship.’

Lindsay added, “I appreciate everything you just said. I feel like it’s my duty as a friend to be there for you. Because you’re admitting you’re wrong and saying you want to be better and do better. How, as a friend, can I not accept that and help you through that? You don’t neglect somebody when something bad happens. It’s different if you’re ignorant and want to stay in that place. That is not what you’re bringing to the table.”
