So you’ve made a definitive conclusion and will now approach information with this bias.

The media has a narrative. They push all anti-cop stories as part of their storyline.

Every single day there are cops putting their lives on the line to do good. And you will never hear a single story of their heroics. The coverage is nearly 100% negative on the national level.

I’ve personally dealt with horrible cops that should absolutely be fired and heroes that deserve community recognition for their bravery.

I agree with you on one thing: we’d likely never find common ground. I cannot respect people that fall for the news storylines hook, line and sinker.

You claim, without proof.

You claim without proof.

Every day there are cops killing Americans - at ten times the rate of any other country.

> And you will never hear a single story of their heroics.

This is provably false.

Go to any news site you like. Search for "hero cop". You will find endless stories.

Being a cop doesn't even break the top 20 most dangerous jobs. It's about 4 times more dangerous than the average job. I don't understand this "life on the line" nonsense

It's the mentality, they think police are in as much danger as Alaskan crab fisherman.
