Yes, I do believe that Black Lives Matter. And, of course, this isn’t just the result of one bad apple. It’s a result of a huge problem of systemic racism.

And I don’t really think that this is the result of “some bad apples.” Just to take one example, from the study I cited earlier, in the 15 years prior to the Floyd killing, the number of police officers arrested in connection with deaths they caused on the job is just barely in the double digits, and a bit less than a quarter of those cases had yet to go to trial at the time. And with numbers like that, I’m inclined to think it’s not just a matter of “some bad apples.” It’s more like the criminal justice system hasn’t really been doing a job of punishing those “bad apples.” And if you want more info on systemic racism, this google doc has loads of studies to pore over.
