      Can you think in anything more nuanced than anecdotes and sweeping generalizations? Got anything better than a strawman to respond with?

        Why would I think of something better than a strawman when replying to a strawman?

        As I said in another post: Cops protect the bourgeois, white-supremacist, colonialist, patriarchal state by enacting violence on the ruled class. That’s not a judgement: it’s their purpose in the system.

        Individuals with bully-like personalities self-select into that job, while decent people are actively shunned. Because group cohesion is more important than “doing the right thing”.

        Why do you defend cops so much?
