I had always thought that the ignorant and loud who rationalized such things represented a small portion of the population which still bothers to vote. That being a minority of the country, I had perhaps incorrectly marginalized those people as clueless participants.
There are around 2 million people employed as police in the US not counting federal agencies like the FBA, DEA, and such. Right there you have 2 million people who support the police engaging in criminal activity in pursuit of ‘justice’. Then you have those working in the prosecution side of the justice system. They generally have no soul either. Then there’s the DEA, commercial prison workers, drug awareness people, etc etc. That’s more than enough to account for the loud crazies out there posting all over the internet. Not to say that sort of thing is limited to these groups, only that they represent a large negatively biased voting block whose livelyhood depends on our fear and complacency. To paraphrase an over used quote, you can’t get people whose job depends on the system to change the system.

You are a big kid. I’d never insult you with charity.
