Sigh - I never suggested that. Am I padded in straw, because I have made the same statement repeatedly to prevent confusion.
The original comment was a blanket statement, with no nuance. When giving the benefit of the doubt I was told that is the reality for non-whites. Adding the word “some” or simply acknowledging “Yes, many if not most cops aren’t like that” on top of “but there are cops very much like this and we need to make sure people are aware of them.” would have lead me to agree with them 100%.
Despite my repeated acknowledgment of the problems, after 100+ comments the best I can hope to acknowledge the original statement may be a bit unfairly broad is basically “Of COURSE we don’t mean ALL cops. I mean, duh, that’s obvious.”
