Not all any group of people are the same.So you would speak out with equal outrage if someone on this forum on this forum pushes the stereotype all politicians are liars. I have yet to see that, And no it took me 2 seconds to see the difference between an occupation something someone does to race something someone is. Directing generalized criticism at a position of power or an occupation of power is not the same as directing it at a person. So try again. You almost have your Blue Lives Matter merit badge.
Took hours for you to come up with that? Try again. You almost have your SJW merit badge.

In fact, the word means to have an unreasonable animus towards people based on their membership in a particular group. I can’t see that it matters if that group is a race, a religion, or a profession.

Not a bit of it. If you have an animus against cops, you’re having a problem with an entire group of people based solely on their occupation. ‘All cops are corrupt’ is an indictment of the occupation, since it applies equally to white cops, black cops, Asian cops, Algerian cops, Buddhist cops, vegan cops, and so on. The bigotry is directed not at the people, but at what they do for a living.
