Are you denying that there’s a problem with police brutality in the United States?

Where did I even imply that?

I think we can agree that IN THIS CASE  the cop’s approach to the child’s behaviour was wrong, can’t we?

Thanks, Min.

Didn’t you pick up where I explicitly said that NOT all cops are bad guys?

That doesn't address the problem.

RE: A Few Days Ago, I Made A Mistake
For what it's worth, I think it's fine to point out problems with the police but it's equally fine to point out those who do a good, or even exceptional, job.

The only issue I see with that is the cops that are just doing their job like they should get little credit.

In between the stories that piss us off and the ones that tug at your heartstrings are the cops doing their job the way it should be done, day in and day out.

Which one doesn't belong?  Looks to me that all are stereotypes.  And all are wrong.
All the rest are about things that aren't a choice and only one is a position of authority. Whether they are wrong or not.

Nope, they're all bigoted.
Nope, you can't be bigoted about an occupation. Especially one that's an authority figure. Unless you equally offended when people shit on all politicians.

No dumbass - Using "all" isn't appropriate.  Not all any group of people are the same.  

Took hours for you to come up with that?  Try again.  You almost have your SJW merit badge.

Of course you can be bigoted about an occupation. The nonsensical statement, ‘All cops are evil’ is a bigoted statement.

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.

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.

For your outrage, and inability to pick up on the actual meaning of a post...words being difficult and all, I award thee:
