That isn't a logical conclusion to draw.

Are there instances where doctors negligently kill their patients? Absolutely.

That does not mean we need to "radically" change doctor culture, if not the entire concept of doctors performing surgeries with sharp objects.

The RATE is abuse is more important than the mere existence of abuse.

These emotional comments have lost touch with logical thinking. The media is driving people crazy.

Doctors aren't granted a monopoly on violence by the state, so that comparison makes no sense.

"The RATE is abuse is more important than the mere existence of abuse."

So what's an acceptable rate for the murder of PoC due to ongoing systemic racism and abuse of authority at the hands of the Police?
