So, my comment was flagged for simply stating the fact that not all police are bad people. Great, we'll done HN. As someone who lived in Baltimore City for 20 years, and was forced out due to uncontrollable crime, I can say from first hand experience that good police officers exist and they are heros. After: 1. My house was robbed. Police responded and worked to connect my incident with others in the area to find the peeps and hold them accountable. 2. My neighbor was mugged/beaten while getting into his car in front of his house. Police responded within a minute and took care (even though the perps got away). 3. A woman a block away from my house was mugged (face fully "punched in," purse snatched). After hearing blood curtling screams I ran out, saw the perps run around the corner, I ran out in my bare feet to take chase, turned two corners (2 city blocks) and the police already had the perp on the ground in cuffs. Say and flag what you want if it makes you feel better about yourself, but know that when you live in a city overrun by crime, and good people (who are actually our fellow citizens) who protect others daily - you realize how important and brave those folks are. Not all are good (as evidenced in the OP). Not all are bad. Yes, the system is broken and needs to evolve. But I recommend you put your life on the line in the street, protecting strangers for meager pay, before sitting in your gaming chair and make sweeping claims about good people who are actually trying to improve society. Call out bad police. Fix the system. Absolutely, but broad generalizations (effectively using lazy heuristics) are at the root of hate and discontent in the world.
