Have a look at the quotes I was specifically replying to. I was simply disagreeing with the idea that we should ignore everything and anything that former or current police have to say about what's wrong with the system. I think that's true especially in the context of this blog post. That is, someone who has (allegedly) served "the system" and now sees how pervasively evil it is. Of course, I'm not suggesting we should give their input undue weight or that we shouldn't take it with a huge grain of salt. In fact — we may ultimately decide to ignore it altogether but.... the more information we have the better. Your apology is accepted, thanks. I'll attempt to clarify what I wrote. And wow, the link you posted is positively terrifying. I hadn't seen it, but I'm a big fan of what The Intercept does. Cheers.
