I have seen dozens if not over a hundred videos of the police acting inappropriately over the last few days. I have only seen a single video in which any of them were stopped or reprimanded by another cop and that one "good cop" was a woman of color. If this inappropriate behavior is done by such a small percentage of the police force and is frowned on by all the other good cops, why is there so little evidence of police policing themselves?

Yes. I have also seen countless videos in which civilians were reprimanded by other citizens for acting inappropriately. They are trying to police themselves. Why can't the police police themselves?

>If a “woman of color” was seen starting a fire, would you be comfortable saying things like “black women start fires”? I sure hope not. Even if you had dozens of examples, it would still be wrong to make such a statement.

I don't know what you are trying to insinuate with this comment. I was not making any blanket statements about anyone beyond the general group of "police".

Yes, that was the point. Blanket statements don’t work in either case.

My blanket statement about police was also framed as a question. I said I have seen very little evidence I was wrong. If you think I am wrong, you could try providing an answer to that question rather than attacking the question itself.

I would also keep an eye on that officer to see if there were more violations.

I would not break formation and try to handcuff another officer in the moment, because it would be strategically unwise.

Right. Maybe that's why you aren't a police officer.

> I would not break formation and try to handcuff another officer in the moment

Maybe you should be a police officer.

> because it would be strategically unwise

Things need to change now.

When the police can demonstrate they are able to rein each other in, we can all go home and celebrate.
