So what are you arguing for exactly then. That since the cops have committed injustices, that they should commit more? When someone gets arrested & charges get dropped due to insufficient evidence, then that is the perfect opportunity for someone to file a lawsuit for violating their civil rights. I'm not pretending that injustices don't happen, but the solution in my eyes isn't for more injustice.
Do you believe that future injustice won't happen? No? So then yes, I desire consistent injustice, because it's explainable. With inconsistent injustice, we need to search for motive and judge that.
Are you not bothered by the inconsistency? Do you not wonder why the inconsistency exists? Does THAT not bother you? Nazis in the police force bothers me a lot. That's what we are seeing. That's why people are mad.
The problem is not the actions in the individual situation. Obviously. The problem is the actions within context. Context is what around 50% of this country sucks at understanding. Context is important. Context is the difference between self defense and murder charges. That's how important it is.
