Agreed, but with the addendum that whereas the comic describes mythological creatures whose existence has been refuted, police brutality would fall under the category of denied events that have been proved.

Another specific example, in the near-endless stream of incidents, that result in me not caring at all when I hear about a cop getting killed shot dead in the fucking face while in a pre-dawn raid looking for an 1/8 of weed.

Itās driving my nuts. Cops kill two or three civilians each day, and taze or gas or beat how many more? Itās disgraceful. And there is always someone ready to blame the victims, defend the cops, and/or threaten to shoot protesters.
Also, just today, I learned about a case of a Florida inmate beaten to death after complaining about an abusive guard, a teenager pepper sprayed after being mistaken for a burglar in his own home, and a passenger tazed in a traffic stop, where there was someone ready to say the victim should have thanked the police for not shooting him.
Also, if some people think itās appropriate for the police to beat, gas, electrocute, or shoot people for not obeying orders, or for talking back, or for acting suspiciously, then, there are deaf people who canāt hear those orders and many more people, including myself, who canāt usually make sense of nonsense and orders, so they imply itās appropriate for the police to beat, gas, electrocute, or shoot usā¦
I read those statements and I think, if they donāt want me dead, these people would still gladly see me dead as part of their campaign for a more authoritarian America.

Yeah, but if they are just a few bad apples, then its not as if there are institutional issues that need taken care of. Itās just one rogue cop. Every time. Each week. Across the country.
