I prefer Ezekiel 16, as it provides a much more Calvinist perspective on the true nature of "chosen-ness"

Cops are mostly good? How would you feel if commercial airline pilots were "mostly good"? Just a few bad ones at every airport?

Can you find me a profession comprising millions of people who don't have bad apples?

Yeah, but bad pilots don't continue to fly planes. They aren't protected by other pilots. They don't get to abuse their power and evade any sort of legal punishment.

Most cops do not do anything bad at all ever. You're only informed of the rare instances that they do. Perception is everything. If there were a 24\7 feed of every single interaction between cops and civilians, 99.9% of them would be totally fine. That's not exactly exciting though. This is what is so incoherent about the navel gazing with regard to cops. *TONS* of people get murdered every day, nobody gives a flying shit about almost any of them. The notion that america is racist, or "white supremacist", when the overwhelming majority of people only care when the victim *is black*, sort of utterly discredits that idea.

Hahaha yup, that sure is what I said.

Here, I'll throw you a bone: Bad cops are bad, police should be better trained and better evaluated, if anything they need to be *more* funded, so they have more of an incentive to not fuck up on the job. They should have better hand to hand skills, so they never have to reach for a tazer let alone a gun. And when a bad shoot does occur, it should be reviewed by a 3rd party rather than the same department that employs the cop in question, which is how it generally works right now.

Okay? Now, all you have to do is acknowledge that the above represents an *insanely tiny minority* of unjust killings not only of black people, but of people of all races. And then ask yourself, "why am I obsessed with this incredibly tiny issue, and not say, the other gigantic majority of people who are murdered in our society?". This whole mentality sends a message that black people being murdered is only tragic when a white cop kills them, which almost never ever ever happens.

"Black on black crime" should absolutely *not* be relegated to a right wing issue, it shouldn't be politicized or partisan. It's cold comfort to the grieving mothers of black victims of homicide when you go "wellllll duhhh the cops are bad, sometimes!!"
