I liked your post, and I largely agree with most of. I'm also a guy who four years ago would have said police are hired and trained in a line of work that should afford them the benefit of the doubt. But I will say their reaction to the way many of these incidents have played out has eroded their legitimacy as an institution. And their reaction to this has clearly been very very flawed. If pressed to pick a side here, I dont see how an informed person could think the police have cleaner hands then the protester, clearly the protesters have legitimate cause for the actions they have started, I dont think police have legitimate cause of many of the actions they have taken.
But that said many of the loudest activists in the BLM movement wear their own biases on their sleeves as a badge of honour, and the cognitive dissonance they show in their claim that they can't negatively effect white people with their racism is suprising, for people who are anti racist activists.
Dr King said. “If we are not careful, our colleges will produce a group of close-minded, unscientific, illogical propagandists, consumed with immoral acts. Be careful, 'brethren!' Be careful, teachers!” these people putting themselves above others believing they are incapable of the same traps their opponents have fallen into is very dangerous.
