It can be both
Race is a useful social construct in the class war. However, harm has been done to people in minority groups, so we cannot ignore it's impact.
Has been, and continues to be done. Every injustice inflicted on the poor will be worse for poor minorities.
A life can matter even though the person is a bastard
No. Cop lives don't matter regardless of skin color.
The only good cops are not cops.
That's extreme, goddamn.
So are all the deaths of innocent people caused by cops with no punishment and the entire class turning a blind eye or encouraging it.
No punishment‽ Often they get paid leave and sometimes even a funded transfer!
You monster what more could be done for killing a child holding a candy bar or giving contradicting orders to a man outside his apartment and shooting him w their personal rifle?
Alright, since you insist we’ll make the taxpayers pay for it, then they’ll have to think about all the people their mistake affected, that’ll teach them a lesson.
Doesn't mean every single one of them is bad or that their lives are forfeit you psychopath
Sure, but now you are acting like it is impossible to have innocent cops.
Maybe the US has a complete fucked up police system, but that isn't the only place on Earth.
Your perspective is normal and common and you might therefore not question it, but if you want to understand where these people are coming from look into prison abolition, police abolition, and anarchism.
The idea is that policing itself is not "innocent" or necessary. When you think that way (agree with it or not) the position you're putting forward sounds to them like "there were good Nazis too not all Nazis are bad" sounds to you
And that's the wrong way to go about it.
Lol. People out here are acting like cop is a protected class. Like you’re born cop and cant ever change from being a cop.
