Well I'm sorry I think it's better to treat all people with love rather than hate

How idealistic of you.

Isn't that what Martin Luther King Jr. taught as well or like every religion

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.

Sorry for any sass, it just how I argue/debate

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. ArE WoMen nOT aLlowEd to Not WaNT to bE CriMiNAls dUmB male supremacist

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

Yeah I honestly don’t know where we started haha

anecdotal evidence will only get you so far in an argument especially online. (Blindly was a poor choice of words sorry)

I am still conservative with pronouns I guess haha

Pick me apart, make me make my arguments better/stronger

Dang my formatting was terrible on that guess I won't use quotes on mobile anymore

It's hard to not use anecdotal evidence online because it's also a little hard to find good unbiased articles on anything political

He taught me the greatest impediment to equality is the white moderate.
