You've lost the plot here a bit as he was speaking specifically to the training and procedure of police officers and nothing to do with what people think of any given situation based on the person being confronted by police.
And to be honest as much as you feel like a social commentator above the divisiveness and chaotic nature of social media, I feel your constant comments on often end up inflaming discussion rather than soothing it.
A social commentator may calmly explain why discussion goes a certain way, where as you tend to make quite emotional posts that scream "fire" when everyone is just discussing politely for the most part. And let's be real here, we can see the pattern of when you make these posts depending on the situation, yet you speak as if you're simply commentating on human nature without bias.
