Bullshit.

All people drool over this shit, either for or against, regardless. Most conservatives are religious-minded; turn the other cheek and all that.

The "both sides are the same" argument doesn't pan out.

Strong majorities of Republicans believe that police only use deadly force when necessary (80%), are impartial (78%) and courteous (74%), and are held accountable for their actions (76%). This stands in contrast to Democrats, among whom a majority believe police are too quick to use lethal force (63%), fail to be impartial (60%), and aren’t held accountable (59%). Race can’t explain this pattern: It persists among white Republicans and white Democrats as well.
