Actually for me, as someone who has strong negative opinions towards both Uber and police brutality, it basically comes down to this: a strong desire for fairness.
I have a strong dislike for companies that willingly flaunt rules that are meant to level the playing field. And this is not the same as companies that disrupt (in fact, the taxi industry was badly in need of disruption and was NOT a level playing field before ride-sharing).
Same goes for police. If a policeman has murdered someone, they should be held to trial just like a civilian would. But we all know that's not actually what happens.
