That argument can be used to attack virtually any minority.
- talldan 9y agoA minority? I don't understand where that argument comes from. A minority generally doesn't hold power - police hold far reaching powers. Minorities normally do not choose to be part of a minority. From wikipedia: "A police force is a constituted body of persons empowered by a state to enforce the law, protect property, and limit civil disorder" If there are a corrupt few breaking the law, the body of persons cannot be said to be performing its duty. It's worth reading about police accountability: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Police_accountability https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Police_accountability Generally the focus of reform is to hold the entire agency/force accountable.
