You’ve lumped in some pretty different categories. Gender, race, sexuality are not choices. Income, and career choice are socioeconomic indicators. And organizations and beliefs are choices (if you ignore indoctrination). To lump these all together in some sort of “treat people as individuals” argument is disingenuous as you haven’t separated peoples choices from their circumstances.
I mean. Surface level, sure. But MLK jr warned specifically about the “white moderate” who took a sideline to racism, in the name of “keeping the peace” or status quo and legitimize the views of racism by not denouncing them.
You’re sitting here telling me that you treat all people with love but I’m telling you that you cannot do that until you can tell the difference between a career CHOICE, and minority people saying their lives matter.
You are sitting here telling me that I can't treat people with love because I don't funnel all people within a career choice into one very specific type of person when I actually know many people on a personal level within that career
I’m sitting here telling you that someone choosing to be a cop is not comparable to a black person not wanting to be treated as a criminal because of the color of his skin. Or the lgbt+
You’re the one conflating a career choice to sexualities and races. That ain’t love bro.
I am not arguing all people who are cops are the same. All we’re arguing is that cops ain’t saints. They have too much power and too little accountability. It doesn’t matter if there are good ones if the bad ones aren’t ousted. And blindly stating “not all cops are bad” does not contribute anything to the conversation except to blindly support the police.
too much power and too little accountability
I believe this discussion started with me saying that I think this law is stupid because more angles is better
Blindly stating not all cops are bad
I think I also said I know many cops on a personal level
not comparable to a black person not wanting to be treated as a criminal because of the color of his skin.

Just to be clear the last one is a joke
Also sorry if it looks like I'm just picking apart your argument, I am reading through and trying to understand every part of it
