    This kind of discrimination is a trifle when you have to cover up a genocide.

    To Americans, twenty thousand Arabs dead in the Middle East is nothing compared to a minor but blatant violation of civil liberties of two American citizens

        There is a certain phenomenon though... a cop can shoot a black person for no reason and they'll all just pretend there was a reason and not punish the cop at all. Meanwhile a cop can get caught on camera being like "lol yeah dude, I hate black people so much" and it's actually more likely they'll get fired. Even though it's a thousand times less bad than murdering someone for their race, it's bad in a sort of undeniable way. They don't have the cover of some life and death crisis, so they just fire them.

        I don't think that's totally true. A lot of libs would be upset by this, but would support Isreal. They probably wouldn't care enough to not vote blue, but they'd care more about not appearing islamophobic while they support a genocide
