Lol, as if the name is the problem.
"but the majority of people who have ever broken the law have the same sets of motivation and desires and choices as those who haven't. "
So what? What is your point here? If you break the law, you are a criminal, because that's the definition, someone that broke the law. It's not dehumanizing, it's just saying "a person that was convicted of breaking the law". Good lord, any type of statement, even about eye color, technically comes out as "us vs them". So you're point is shallow and pedantic.
- bdcravens 3y agoRevisit the original comment, saying that "criminals" are worse than cops. Surely someone who drives 61 in a 55 isn't worse than the type of cops being discussed, even though that person, by definition, is a "criminal". Even a comparison of cops and criminals is odd, since by definition, any cop can be a criminal by violating the law. The only reasonable explanation is the overloading of the word to mean something more.
