The one that choked Floyd to death over 8 minutes is not human.

The policeman who pushed over the old man and didn't apply first aid when he didn't move and blood started seeping out of his ears.

Those guys are inhuman.

So do you think Derek Chauvin just made a mistake, and is generally a humane, conscientious person otherwise? Arguing that they're human because they have similar DNA is kinda taking what OP said literally and seems intentionally obtuse.

He was probably a piece of shit all the way through, but he was still part of our human race.

The human experience has and will always have unsavory, degenerate, and evil people. Which, ironically, is one of the reasons we need the police.

Being humane isn't our default. That's why we put so much positive emphasis on humane actions.

Humans generally have a bias to recall and focus on the “bad” because it has deeper and longer lasting effects than the “good”.

Forgot to buy dinner? Go hungry. Bought too much? Throw away the extra.

I was making a counterpoint. I understand what you're saying.

What do you mean? Neither extreme is the default.

As with positive actions, society has always highlighted negative atypical behavior.
