    Though it might sometimes seem so especially on social media, in reality not all of us just blindly hate a person because they belong to a certain group.

      Idk disapproving of someone who volunteers to use violence to enforce unjust laws doesn’t seem very blind at all

          It’s literally the job. I really don’t care if you think you’re doing the right thing while oppressing addicts, homeless people, sex workers, etc. They could get a job that actually reduces crime instead of punishing the disenfranchised but they don’t.

            You’re intentionally ignoring all the nuance and are showing clear bias. You also did not answer any of my questions.

              You can nuance all you want, but at the end of the day, if you choose to operate the orphan crushing machine you’re a bad person.

                Probably over 100 million police officers in the world and not a single moral person among them trying to do good? Not even one? Really?

                  It’s literally their job to enforce oppression. Moral cops stop being cops when they realize that, no, they can’t change the system.

                  Cops harm other people as a matter of course. It’s routine. There’s absolutely no reason to make excuses for that.

                  There are probably many many people that are police that are trying to do good. But police in America have a huge PR problem. Doesn’t help that there are departments that don’t hire quality people for the job and that there is a union that is a bit too aggressive in there defense of some police that probably do need to be fired.

                  My feeling is that the police in general are under trained for the work that they are asked to do and in turn everything problem is a nail that needs to be hammered down. It breeds an “US” vs. “THEM” culture in the departments.

                  Until there are no bad cops there are no good cops. Code of silence is criminal.

              What you call being nuanced is really just individualizing systemic problems
