>1) Anyone who gets shot by cops must have done something to warrant being shot.

Done something like being poor, minority or both?

I've recently read a nice piece (Vox IIRC) on authoritarian personalities and I think this is the new norm.

A decade ago I would have just written that type of comment as trolling, but now it's a different world.
