Be as hyperbolic as you like, at the end of the day you are the one defending cops we have video evidence of beating people with sticks.

- RobRivera 6y agoYou did not answer his/her question and proceed to use petty argumentive/debate tactics to villify rather than expand dialogue. You are not discussing in good faith
- hobs 6y agoThe comment I respond to discusses drinking blood, I think you might find the good faith comment misplaced.
- RobRivera 6y agoNo sale hobs. He posed a question asking if the cop is spending all day beating people and drinking blood. I'm convinced you aren't engaging in good faith discussion. Moving on with my life.
- throwaway894345 6y agoThe parent's rather obvious point is that some police officers are bad, but police in general aren't behaving this way. If you disagree, then fine, but at least disagree with the parent and not some straw man of your own making.
- hobs 6y agoTo the comment of "Yes, the person who brings the baton down on your head is an oppressor." - bringing up 'well other police are not bad' is just itself a weird strawman.
- throwaway894345 6y agoIt's not a straw man so much as a clarification, because the original assertion is ambiguous about whether we're talking literally about a single person or if "person bringing the baton down on your head" is a metaphor for police in general (especially given the surrounding context of talking about the police in a general, plural sense, and the fact that no one disputes that no one disputes that individual bad police officers should be held responsible).
