Reply to comment by fractalflatulence in Just a heads up by that-fn-guy

I think "intelligent" people understand the nuance of the statement and read it as "the effect the police have is dramatically overestimated". Why are u trying to make this so personal lol

There is no nuance in the statement. That’s the point.

Edit to add: How you don't see the irony in you defending a drastic underestimation of the value of policing on the grounds of an alleged overestimation of the value of policing is beyond me....

What? Yes there is.. you said so yourself.

>There’s nuance that people like you deliberately ignore when you make statements like “police don’t prevent crime”.

Serious question, did you hit your head?

I'm replying to the comment " **Cops are worthless** "

that has zero nuance..

Yeah sorry I am a bit slow.. thank you for being patient with me. I think we might have a misunderstanding..

Could you tell what the word nuance means here? Not the definition of it (I looked that up already don't understand!). But what you are talking about when you say it?

From this statement of yours >There’s nuance that people like you deliberately ignore when you make statements like “police don’t prevent crime”.

Edit: A better way to phrase my question is "what is the nuance that people are deliberately ignoring?"
