It vacillates wildly.

I made comments in the thread on the cop convicted of killing Karon Hylton-Brown saying that statements made by cops about the people they shoot should not be taken as fact that was well received, but when I said essentially the same thing about MPD shooting someone this week, it was downvoted into oblivion.

I think people just really have a hard time maintaining a coherent understanding of what policing is, because it's so much easier to believe the comforting lie that is hammered into our brains about it.

Yeah, it’s difficult to be told that cops are there to protect and serve and the reality is, in the nicest words possible, no they are not!!!
