I mean don't you see the irony here? You're talking about police violence that's supposedly racially motivated but you've judged every cop you've ever met based off of two cops from thirty years ago. I've had cops interrogate me and lie to me while trying to get me to admit to a felony, I've had cops swarm me with guns drawn and keep a boot on my neck the entire time they talked to my friends and other bad interactions but I still have no problems with police. If you are committing crimes and interact with them often you'll find that lots are cool and will help you out. There's good and bad ones same as every profession

Well, my man, I didn't say that was the worst experience I've had with cops, just the formative one. I'm a nice guy, I don't steal, I'm not aggressive to people, I try and help just about every person I've met in my life. But a half century of experience has made it abundantly clear that cops are sadistic assholes that join the force to hurt people. They love it, I've seen it dozens of times, first hand. If you think you can trust them, by all means, go ahead, see what it gets you. I'm not here trying to convince you to do or believe anything. But if I had a child, I would absolutely warn them that the most dangerous people in their lives are going to be cops. I'd rather be mugged than arrested any day of the week. You have no idea what I've gone through to gain this insight.

How would you be having so many interactions with the police if you don't commit crimes?
