oh, I get the point you are trying to make, but you are missing the bigger point and the one i was making. You are conflating stereotyping with dehumanizing, you are confusing two very very different concepts alas.
…of course we are all individuals, duh. every police officer has free will to act how they choose within the confines of their required guidelines, and there is a vast spectrum that varies individual to individual, i agree to that 100% and never stated any different. Unfortunately in the states, they are trained to dehumanize criminals because it makes their enforcement easier. That is one of the joys of living in the country with the highest incarceration rate of any first world country, a true police state. Other countries such as Canada have the opposite sort of training and are a completely scenario. it isn’t a function of the job itself, or the people themselves, but rather their training. hopefully that clears things up for you.
